Question

Joseph has 48 comic books. He sold one-fourth of his collection to his friend. He brought twice the number of comic books as he has now.how many comic books does he have now?

Answer 1

108

Explanation:

Given that Joseph has 48 comic books.

As he sold 1/4 of his collection to his friend, so

The number of books, Josef sold = 1/4 x 48 = 12.

The number of remaining books, Josef has = 48 - 12 = 36.

As he brought twice the number of comic books as he has now, so,

the number of comic books, Josef brought = 2 x 36 = 72.

Now, total number of comic books, Josef has = 36 + 72 = 108.
