Final answer:

Lee's book has 100 pages.


Explanation:

Lee's book has 100 pages.

To find the total number of pages, you can set up an equation based on the information given:
Let x be the total number of pages in the book.
On Monday, Lee reads rac{1}{5}x pages.
On Tuesday, he reads rac{4}{5}x pages.
Given that he has 18 pages left to read, the equation becomes:
rac{1}{5}x + rac{4}{5}x + 18 = x.
Solving for x gives x = 100.
