Question

If we remove 11 books from my shelf and multiply the remaining number of books by 12, we will get the same result as of we remove 10 books from the shelf and multiply the remaining number of books by 11. How many books are on my shelf before any are removed?

Answer 1

22

Explanation:

I timesed 11 by 12 which is 132 and then timesed 10 with 11 which then gave me 110. I then subtracted 132 with 110 which gave me the answer 22. if we remove 11 from the 22 books we then end up with 11. then times it by 12 = 132. then if you subtract 10 of the 22 books then we end up with 12. then times it by 11 which is 132 as well.
