Answer:

B. 40 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she sold half of her stamps. She started with 46 stamps.

First, find 1/2 of 46.

Multiply 1/2 and 46, or divide 46 by 2.

1/2 *46= 23

46/2=23

She sold 23 stamps, and was left with 23 stamps.

Then, she bought 17 more. If she bought more, she added to the amount she already had.

Therefore, we can add 23 and 17.

23+17=40

She has 40 stamps now.
