Answer 2

The answer to your question is: Ann took 13 cupcakes to school.

Explanation:

Data

Initial amount of cupcakes = 26

cupcakes to school = c

cupcakes to soccer = 12

cupcakes left = 3

Process

Initial cupcakes = 28

Initial amount = cupcakes to school + cupcakes to soccer + cupcakes left

28 = c + 12 + 3

c = 28 - 12 - 3

c = 13
