Jon reads x pages per day
Sue reads 8 pages more than Jon per day that is she reads: x + 8 pages per day
in 16 days Jon we read total of: 16x pages
in 12 days Sue will read total of: 12(x + 8) pages
Jon finishes the book in 16 days and Sue needs 12 days thus
16x = 12(x + 8)
by solving we find
x = 24 pages
