Sure! Let's go through the problem step-by-step to understand how we arrive at the final answer.

1. We know that Funke had some yams initially, but let's denote this original number of yams as [tex]\( y \)[/tex].

2. From the problem, we are told that after Funke cooked 4 yams for her friends, she had 24 yams left. This can be represented by the equation:
[tex]\[ y - 4 = 24 \][/tex]
Here, [tex]\( y \)[/tex] is the original number of yams, 4 yams were cooked, and 24 yams were left.

3. To find the original number of yams, we need to solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex] in the equation [tex]\( y - 4 = 24 \)[/tex].

4. To isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex], we add 4 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ y - 4 + 4 = 24 + 4 \][/tex]

5. Simplifying both sides, we get:
[tex]\[ y = 28 \][/tex]

So, Funke originally had 28 yams.
