Cierra has 3 more than one half as many purses as Aisha. Define a variable and write an expression to represent the number of purses in Cierra's collection. Then find the number of purses in Cierra's collection if Aisha has 12 purses.

Use P to represent the number of purses that Aisha has. 1/2P x 3 if P= 12 then 1/2 (12) x 3= 18
