Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step:

  1. Let's assume the number of notebooks Munna has is represented by the variable "x".

  2. Munna subtracts thrice the number of notebooks he has from 50. This can be represented as the equation: 50 - 3x.

  3. According to the problem, Munna finds the result to be 8. So we can set up the equation: 50 - 3x = 8.

  4. Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x. Subtract 50 from both sides of the equation: -3x = 8 - 50, which simplifies to -3x = -42.

  5. Divide both sides of the equation by -3 to isolate x: x = (-42) / (-3), which simplifies to x = 14.

Therefore, Munna has 14 notebooks.
