Answer:

10

Explanation:

Let

the number = n

The quotient of a number and two = n / 2

twelve more than the quotient of a number and two,

(n/2 + 12)

twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four

(n/2 + 12) - 4

when n = 4?

(n/2 + 12) - 4

= (4/2 + 12) - 4

= (2 + 12) - 4

= 14 - 4

= 10
