Question

3. Jill sold a third of her comic books and then bought 24 more.

She now has 30. With how many did she begin?

Help me out

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

30-24= 6

so when she sold them she had 6 left over

it says she sold one third so we need to find out that 6 is a third of what

to find that out now we multiply 6x3=18

jill had 18 books to start out with
