Problem
Bridget bought a bag of apples at the grocery store. She gave half of the apples to Ann. Then she gave Cassie 3 apples, keeping 4 apples for herself. How many apples did Bridget buy?
Solution
If we set up an equation, we find out x=(3+4)*2 because 3 apples were left after giving half, then four away. We can simplify the equations to x=7*2=14. The answer is (E) 14.
