Mackenzie Huerta · Answer 1

40 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with 46 stamps.

She sold half of them

46*1/2 = 23

She sold 23 46-23 = 23

So she has 23 stamps

Then she bought 17

23+17 = 40

She now has 40 stamps

Justin Rivera · Answer 2

starts wuth 46, and sells half, so she has 23. then when she buys 17 more she then has 40.

if you are asked to show work its 46/2=23, then 23+17=40!
