For this question, you have to work backwards, so if she ate a cookie, working backwards, you would have to add, not subtract or divide.

Mary had 5 cookies after she gave half away. So 5 is half of something. 5 x 2 = 10. She had 10 cookies before she gave half to her brother.

Before she had 10, she ate one. So you add one to the ten.(Remember, working backwards). 10+1=11.

She had 11 cookies after she gave half. So 11 x 2 = 22.
She had 22 cookies before she gave half away.
She ate one before she had 22. 22+1=23.
We are finished. Mary started with 23 cookies.

Hope you understand! :)

A certain type of chocolate bar is sold as follows.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You would never buy a 10-pack, because two 5-packs cost less.

To buy 3 bars you need a single bar and a pair of single bars for £0.82 + £0.82+ £0.41 = £2.05

To buy 30 bars you need 3 pairs of 5-bar packs = 3×£5.75 =  £17.25

To buy the remaining 5 bars you need one 5-bar pack = £3

cost = £2.05 + £17.25 + £3 = £22.30
