Question

Fred sold half of his comic books and then bought 8 more he now has 16 how many did begin with

Answer 1

16 I think

Explanation:

If he now has 16 and he bought 8 you have to do 16-8 which is 8. He sold half and got to 8. Half of 16 is 8. (Sorry if that didn't make sense)

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

He started with 16 because he sold half so add half and that would be 16 ;)
