Question

7.) Dafne gave away 3 more than half

of her apples. She gave away 17
apples in all. How many apples did
Dafne have originally?

Answer 1

Answer:28

Step-by-step explanation: 17-3 = 14 and 14 is half of 28.

Answer 2

Dafne originally had 28 apples.

Explanation:

Dafne gave away 3 more than half of her apples, and she gave away 17 apples.

So the first step would be to find half of the original number of apples:

17-3=14

Now all we have to do is multiply by two:

14x2=28
