Lily bought a bag of gummy bears and ate one-third of

them. The next day, she ate 16 more gummy bears. If she
ate a total of 37 gummy bears, how many were originally in
the bag?



HELP ME ASAP PLEASE !

Answer 1

37-16 Subtract the total of gummy bears(37) she ate by 16

=21.

21x3. Then subtract 21 by 3 because of 1/3

=63

Check your work:

63/3

=21

21+16

=37
