Johnny had 70 apples, he sliced 14 in half and ate 9. He threw away 12 slices. How many apples does he have now?
I need help creating an equation
he had 70 - 14 whole ones = 56, then he also had 28 slices
He ate 9 slices so he then had 56 whole ones and 19 half ones
that would be 56 + 19/2 = 65.5
sorry, forgot the 12
he had 70 - 14 whole ones = 56, then he also had 28 slices
He ate 9 and threw 12 slices so he then had 56 whole ones and 7 half ones
that would be 56 + 7/2 = 59 1/2
(70-14) + [(14 *2) - 9 -12 ] / 2
To determine how many apples Johnny has now, we need to calculate the remaining whole apples after accounting for the sliced and eaten ones.
1. Start with the initial number of apples: 70 apples.
2. Slice 14 apples in half, which results in 14 * 0.5 = 7 whole apples.
3. Subtract the number of sliced apples from the initial quantity of apples: 70 - 7 = 63 apples remaining.
4. Johnny ate 9 apples, so subtract this quantity from the total: 63 - 9 = 54 apples remaining.
5. Finally, Johnny threw away 12 slices, which represents 12 * 0.5 = 6 whole apples.
6. Subtract the number of thrown away apples from the remaining quantity: 54 - 6 = 48 apples.
Therefore, Johnny now has 48 apples.
