Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
17-9=8
8*2=16
Because had 8 but bought 9 more to where he then had 17 but if you take 8 times 2 then your answer is 16 and that's how many comic books he began with.
Hope this helps
Began by dividing 850 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, and I made a list of the whole numbers.
They were 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, and 850
By inspection, the two smallest numbers which when multiplied together yielded 850 were 25 and 34.
If the question is 40 - 
, then you would do 16 ÷ 4 = 4, and then 40 - 4 = 36.
If the question is 
, then you divide both 40 and 16 by 4, to get 10 - 4 = 6.
I hope this helps!
