Jason bought 12 new CDs to add to his collection. The next day, his baby
brother went into his room and

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if u count the scrateched ones which was 6 is now 62 then add the other six because there was 12 and his brother scrateched half which is basically 12 / 2 = 6 so if u add the six is 68
