Question

Adam bought three kinds of

bagels at the bagel store. He
bought twice as many onion bagels as plain
bagels. He bought four more sesame
bagels than he did plain bagels. Adam ate
one of the sixteen onion bagels he bought
as soon as he got home. How many bagels
does Adam have left?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

35

Explanation:

The 16 onion bagels are twice as many as plain bagels, so there were 8 plain bagels.

There were 4 more sesame bagels than plain bagels, so there were 12 sesame bagels.

Adam has 8 plain, 12 sesame, and 15 onion bagels left, for a total of 35 bagels left.
