Question

A band expects to put 16 songs on their next CD. The band writes and records ​50% more songs than they expect to put on the CD. During the editing​ process, 50​% of the songs are removed. How many songs will there be on the final​ CD?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

16÷2=50% of 16

50% of 16 = 8

16 + 8 = 24

multiply 24 by 50% to get final answer- 12

therefore 12 songs were in the final CD. Lemme know if I’m wring, this would help me get better at answering. Thank you :).

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

Add 50% of 16 to 16, 50% of 16 is 0.5 * 16 = 8, 16 + 8 = 24

Multiply 24 by 50%, or 0.5 to get 12
