After he adds his new books to his bookshelf he realizes that he has bought enough books to finish completely filling his bookcase with 2 books left over. Before his shopping trip, Adam had 56 books in his bookcase. If his bookcase has 4 shelves and averages 20 books per shelf, how many books did Adam buy on his shopping trip?

Adam’s bookshelf has 4 shelves that fit 20 books each, which is 4 * 20=<<4*20=80>>80 books in total to fill the bookshelf
Adam ended the day with a full bookcase of 80 books in the bookcase and 2 books left over, 80 + 2= <<80+2=82>>82 books total.
If Adam started the day with 56 books and ended the day with 82 books then Adam bought 82 - 56= <<82-56=26>>26 books bought on his shopping trip.
