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
