William sold half of his comic book collection then purchased 10 more. He now has 24 comic books . How many books did William begin with?

28

Step-by-step explanation:

24-10=14

14x2=28

willaim had 28 comic books to begin with

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can take 24-10=  to see how many comics he had before his total of 24  which :

24-10=14

Then we want to find how many he had in the beging so to reverse division we would use multiplication so we would do 14x2=  because a half x a half will equal a whole :

14x2=28

So therefor William started of with 28 comic books

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
