Question

Alan found 4 marbles to add to the 5 marbles in his collection. Then, he went to the store and tripled the number of marbles he had.

Answer 1

27 Marbles

Explanation:

Alan first had 5 marbles, and then added 4 to the collection.

5 + 4 = 9

He went to the store and tripled the number of marbles he had.

9 x 3 = 27

Hence, he now has 27 marbles.
