(0) 32
(D) 48​

Respuesta :

Answer:

(D) 48​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let English book = x

Let french book = y

In 1995 x= 10

Y= 7

In 1996

Y = 2x

Total book read in the two years

0.6(Total) = y

0.4(total) = x

We don't know the exact amount of books read in 1996.

Total = 10 + 7 +x +2x

Total = 17+3x

0.6(total) = 7+2x

0.6(17+3x) = 7+2x

10.2 +1.8x= 7+2x

10.2-7= 2x-1.8x

3.2= 0.2x

3.2/0.2= x

16= x

So she read 16 English book

And 16*2 = 32 french book Making it a total of 16+32= 48 books in 1996
