Let’s break down the information:
- Dana sold 23 coupon books.
- Carmen sold 9 more books than Dana.
To find out how many books Carmen sold, we can add 9 to the number of books Dana sold:
\[
\text{Carmen's books} = \text{Dana's books} + 9 = 23 + 9 = 32
\]
Now, to find the total number of books sold by both Carmen and Dana, we add the number of books each of them sold:
\[
\text{Total books} = \text{Carmen's books} + \text{Dana's books} = 32 + 23 = 55
\]
Therefore, Carmen and Dana sold a total of **55 coupon books**.
