Question

Susan has 50% more books than Michael. Michael has 40 books. If Michael buys 8 more books, will Susan have more or less books than Michael? Use any method to solve the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Susan has more books than Michael.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Susan has 50% more books and Michael has 40 books, that means Susan has 1.5 times 40 = 60

40 + 8 = 48

60 is more than 48, so Susan has more books than Michael
