8. Jackson bought three CDs. A week later half of all his CDs were

destroyed in a fire. There are now only 24 CDs left. How many did
he start?

48? It says 3 cds in the beginning but is asking how many there were in the beginning but if I ignore that then I get 48

24+24 is 48
If he started with 48 then half of 48 is 24
