mr.two brought in cookies for his class. He gave out half of them in the morning . At lunch he gave out 14 more. He then had 8 cookies left. How many cookies did he start with?

Verified Answer :

he had 44 cookies because if he gave out half of them then you would add what he had left after he gave the other half of them away which 14+ 8 is 22 and 22×2 is 44 so the answer is 44 cookies

He started with 44 cookies.
8+14=22
22×2=44

To check your answer,
44÷2=22
22-14=8
8 cookies remaining at the end of the day!
