He will get 12 issues too. Since he spent 15 dollars in total you would divide that by 1.50 to see how many he actually purchased and it comes out to 10 meaning that he got 10 issues with the money. Now he got two free issues so you would add them to the ones he purchased, so 10 + 2 which would equal 12. So in total he got 12 issues. I hope that helps and wasn't confusing.
