Multiple-Choice Questions 1. In 1995, Diana read 10 English books and 7 French books. In 1996, she read twice as many French books as English books. If 60% of the books that she read during the 2 years were French, how many English and French books did she read in 1996?
(A) 16
(B) 26
(0) 32
(D) 48

(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
