isnt it saying If 80 of them are papeper backs 44 of them are mysteries. So 44 out of the 80 are paper backs right? doesnt it say that?

How many books are NOT paperbacks?
If ALL of the non-paperbacks were mysteries, how many paperback mysteries could you possibly have?

I just dont get 1 thing why does it say If 80 of them are paper back and 44 of them are mysteries. Isnt tat implying that those 44 all have to be paper back ?

Why must all of the mysteries be paperbacks? The real SAT's language is always very succinct; don't ever blame the wording.

look, if u add 44 and 80 thats obviosusly over a 100 so u have an overlap. subtract 80 from 100 to detemrmine the non paperback, then subtract the result (20) from 44 to eliminate the nonpaperback mysteries = 24.

It's not saying that 44 OF THE 88 are mysteries. It's saying 44 OF THE 100 are.

20 are non paperback, you want the LEAST amount of paperback mysteries so assume all 20 of the nonpaperbacks were mysteries and subtract from 44 to give u 24.
