Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12

ch4aika [34]
Hey! Let's go through this.

If she has 42 dollars and she buys 3 $7 t-shirts, we can use multiplication to see that she spent 21 dollars on t shirts, meaning she has 42-21 dollars left, or 21 dollars left.

If she has 21 dollars left and glasses sell for $6, then the most she can buy (keep in mind we can't buy a fractional part of a pair of sunglasses) at most 3 pairs, because if she bought four, she'd go over her spending limit.
Hope this helps!
