Answer: 6 apples</h3>
x = number of apples originally
50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3
0.50x = 3
x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50
x = 6
You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.
I've had a problem similar to this before. He should start out with 0 flowers. He would have 2 flowers at the first one, so he would put one on the first grave then have one for the second. When he gets to the second, he puts down one flower and the last flower on the 3rd grave.
