if i had 20 cookies i gave to away multiplied by 7 got 12 token away then split it in half and gave the other half to my friend how many cookies would i have?
7 and 1 half cookies
to = two? token = taken?
If you really multiply your number of cookies by 7, you will end up with a lot more than 7 1/2.
20-2=18
18*7=126
126-12=114
114/2=57
you would have 57 cookies
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
1. If you initially had 20 cookies and gave them away, we'll subtract the number of cookies given away.
Calculation: 20 - (number of cookies given away)
2. Next, you multiplied the remaining cookies by 7.
Calculation: (20 - X) * 7
3. After multiplying by 7, you gave away 12 tokens. Therefore, we'll subtract 12 from the result obtained in step 2.
Calculation: (20 - X) * 7 - 12
4. Then, you split the remaining number of tokens in half and gave the other half to your friend. This means we need to divide the result from step 3 by 2.
Calculation: ((20 - X) * 7 - 12) / 2
By plugging in a value for X, we can find the number of cookies you would have left.
