Problem: you collect baseball cards . suppose you start out with 17 . maria takes half of one more than the number of baseball cards you have . since you ' re nice , you give peter 1 baseball card . since his father makes baseball cards , paul decides to triple your baseball cards . how many baseball cards do you have at the end ?
Rationale: "solution start with 17 baseball cards . maria takes half of one more than the number of baseball cards you have . so maria takes half of 17 + 1 which is 9 , so you ' re left with 17 - 9 = 8 . peter takes 1 baseball card from you : 8 - 1 = 7 baseball cards . paul triples the number of baseball cards you have : 7 ã — 3 = 21 baseball cards . so you have 21 at the end . correct answer : e"
annotated_formula: multiply(subtract(subtract(subtract(17, const_4), const_4), 1), const_3)
