Question

Benny bought 8 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next day his dog ate half of his collection. There are now only 37 cards left. How many cards did Benny start with ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Benny started with 74 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, the first part with Benny buying eight more baseball cards is unnecessary information. Since his dog ate exactly half of his baseball card collection and he was left with 37 cards, he would've had 74 cards to start with.
