Question

William was going to sell all of his stamp collection to buy a video game. After selling half of them he changed his mind. He then bought six more. How many did he start with if he now has 32?

Answer 1

Answer:

52 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

William bought six more stamps, so you subtract 6 from his new amount of 32 stamps. 32 - 6 is 26, so 26 is half of his original amount. 26 x 2 is 52.
