<h3>What is arithmetic?</h3>
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Here,
Let the number of plants originally stolen by the thief be x.
On the way out, the thief meets three security guards, one after another. To each security guard, the thief is forced to give one-half of the plants that he still had, plus 2 more.
Here,
For gourd 1 the planet is given = 1/2 x
For gourd 2 the planet is given = 1/2 * 1/2 x = 1/4 x
For gourd 3 the planet is given = 1/2*1/4 x = 1/8 x
Total plant given to the gourds = 1/2x +1/4x +1/8x + 2 = 7/x/8x +2
Finally, the thief leaves the nursery with 10 plants
x - 7x/8 + 2 = 10
x/8 = 8
x = 64
Thus, the thief stole 64 plants.
