Final answer:
Mandy originally had 2 silver charms and received three times that amount for her birthday, which is 6 additional charms. By adding the original charms to the new ones, Mandy now has a total of 8 silver charms on her bracelet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many silver charms Mandy has on her charm bracelet after receiving more for her birthday, we need to first find out how many silver charms she received as gifts. The hidden question here is: How many silver charms did Mandy receive for her birthday? Since it is stated that she received three times as many silver charms as she already had, we first calculate this amount.
Mandy initially had 2 silver charms. If she received three times as many for her birthday, she received 2 charms × 3 = 6 charms as gifts. Now, we simply add the original number of charms to the number of charms she received as gifts to find the total.
2 original charms + 6 birthday charms = 8 silver charms in total on Mandy's bracelet after adding the birthday charms.
