Question

Mathew sells half the books in his library. After

he does this, he buys 6 more books. Now he has
102 books. How many books did he have to start
with?

Answer 1

You’d get 192 because first, you would subtract 6 from 102.

102 - 6 = 96

Then, multiply 96 by 2 to get 192, the original amount Matthew had.

Answer 2

198?? i multiplied 102 by 2 and subtracted 6 to get tht answer.
