To find out how many pages Daniel has read, we'll need to follow a few steps:

Step 1: Let's define some variables:
Let's use "D" to represent the number of pages Daniel has read.
Let's use "K" to represent the number of pages Kim has read.

Step 2: Given information:
We know that Kim has read a total of 98 pages: K = 98.

Step 3: Relationship between Daniel and Kim's reading:
According to the problem, Daniel has read ten more than twice as many pages as Kim. So we can write the equation as:
D = 2K + 10.

Step 4: Substitute the given value:
Substituting K = 98 into the equation, we get:
D = 2(98) + 10.

Step 5: Solve:
D = 196 + 10.
D = 206.

Therefore, Daniel has read 206 pages.
