Mofor had some candy to give to his three

children. He first took two pieces for
himself and then evenly divided the rest
among his children. Each child received
four pieces. With how many pieces did he
start?

Answer:

He started with 14 peices of candy

Explanation:

We know that there are three children and each gets 4 pieces so we do 3x4=12 and then add the 2 that he took for himself which gives us 14.
