Sara had some candy in her pocket. She first kept 2 pieces herself and then gave her 5 children 3 pieces each. If she didn't have any candy left over, how many pieces of candy did she start with

Respuesta :

17 pieces. She had two and she had to have 15 to give to the children. If each child got 3 and there is 5. This turns into 3*5=15. Then you would add 15+2 to get 17
