Question

Ms. Jan brought in cookies for her class. She gave out half of them in the morning. At lunch, she gave out 12 more. She then had 10 cookies left. How many cookies did she bring in?

Answer 1

44

Explanation:

if she had 10 left at the end and you add the other half from lunch which is 12, then that gives you 22. Since before lunch she had half (22), all you gotta do is add the other half which is 22. 22+22=44 and that's your answer.
