On the puzzle page of a newspaper this problem is proposed: “Two children, Antonio and José, have $160$ comics. Antonio counts his by $7$ by $7$ and there are $4$ left over. José counts his $ 8$ by $8$ and he also has $4$ left over. How many comics does he have each?" In the next issue of the newspaper this solution is given: “Antonio has $60$ comics and José has $100$.” Analyze this solution and indicate what a mathematician would do with this problem.
