In a week consisting of 5 workdays and 2 weekend days, Susan can write:
5 × 10 + 2 × 20 = 90 pages
Therefore, in 10 consecutive full weeks (i.e., 70 consecutive days), she can write 900 pages of her novel, leaving another 50 pages to be written. The least number of days it would take Susan to write 50 pages is 3: 2 weekend days and 1 weekday. Thus, it is possible for Susan to finish her novel in 73 days. (This assumes that Susan chooses her start day appropriately, so as to take advantage of as many weekends as possible.) Therefore, Quantity B is greater.
