Question

Sona read 12 books; Chirag read 3 times as many books as Sona. How many books they read in all?

Answer 1

Books Sona read = X

Books Chirag read = 3(X)

Here, X = 12

So, Chirag read 3(12) = 36

Now, we have to combine their total books read.

Sona read = 12

Chirag read = 36

So total books they read = 12+36 = 48

Hence, they read 48 books in all
