14. Henry starts to read a 290-page book on a Sunday. He reads four pages every day except on Sundays when he reads 25 pages. How many days does it take him to finish the book?
A 41
B 40
C 35
D 12
E 6
14. A In each week, the number of pages Henry reads is $25+6 \times 4=49$. Now note that $290=5 \times 49+45$ and that $45=49-4$. Therefore, since Henry reads 49 pages a week and 4 pages every day except Sunday and he starts reading the book on a Sunday, it will take him 5 weeks and 6 days to finish the book. Hence he will take 41 days to finish the book.
