Question

Sara was thinking of a number. Sara adds 12, then divides by 7 to get an answer of 11. What was the original number?

Answer 1

65

Explanation:

Do the opposite of what the question gives you.

Sara has the number 11. She divided by 7, so you would multiply by 7:

11 x 7 = 77

Next, Sara added 12, so you will subtract by 12:

77 - 12 = 65

65 is the number Sara was thinking of.
