Answer:

Timmy is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you subtract 3 by 2 it will be 1.

Then you multiply 1 by the total number of apples which is 3.

Therefore, 3 to the second power which is how much he gave to sarah, is 9

Then you multiply 9 with the total children which is 2 children then the the answer will be 18

the square root of 18 is approximately 4 then you multiply the original number which is 18 with 4 then you get 72.

after that you cut one of the children in half and throw the other half therefore you have 1.5 children.

divide the original number 72 with 1.5 you get 48.

Therefore, Timmy is 48.
