Question

Keith bought 6 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next

day his dog ate half of his collection. There are now only 25 cards left.
How many cards did Keith start with ?

Answer 1

Keith started with 44 cards.

So we need to work backwards.

After his dog ate half his collection, he had 25 cards.

To reverse that, you need to multiply 25 by 2.

25×2=50

If he bought 6 new cards that day, then he started with 6 cards less.

So you have to subtract 6 from 50.

50-6=44
