Question

Sarah has a bag of cherries. She ate 5, then gave half of what she had to Liam. Lam ate 5, then gave half of what he had to Amy. Amy got 2 cherries. How many cherries did Sarah have in the start?

Answer 1

I think Sarah had 12 cherries in the start

Answer 2

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah:X-5

Liam:x-5÷2

Amy:x-10÷2

Equate Amy's value to 2

x-10/2=2

Multiply two in both sides to have:

x-10=4

hence;

x=14
