Question

Can any body answer this and can you tell me how you did it please thanks . Beth and Victoria compare the number of books they have.
Beth says she has twice as many books as Victoria.
Victoia says she has 4 fewer books than Beth.
Both girls are correct.
How many books do they have altogether?

Answer 1

12 books total

since victoria has 4 books less than beth and also half of what beth has, Beth has to have 8 books. 4 is half of 8 and also 4 less than 8. now just add total amount of books. 4+8=12
