9. Stephanie had some candy to give to her four children. She first
took twelve pieces for herself and then evenly divided the rest among
her children. Each child received six pieces. With how many pieces did
she start?


Sagot :

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation : 12 for how many pieces Stephanie took, 4 for how many children she has and 6 for how many pieces each child got:

12+ (6*4) = x

Solve:

12+24 = 36

Answer: 36 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

We know she took 12 pieces and her four children each received 6 pieces.

12 + 4 (6) = p

12 + 24 = 36

p = 36

She started with 36 pieces.
