His siblings got 16 together, but we can’t answer for how much he has now for himself, because either you worded this wrong or it’s just missing information. It can’t be 16-5, because he gave his siblings the 16 comic books, and he kept 5 from an unknown number. Or maybe I’m overthinking this and the answer is just 11?
