Tim has 22 cans of soda. Jeff comes by, and takes 6 cans of soda from Tim. Tim then goes and buys another half the amount of soda cans he had left. How many cans of soda does Tim have in the end? Give me reasons, before answering the question
After Jeff comes by, Tim has 22 - 6 = 16 cans left. Tim buys 16 / 2 = 8 more cans. Tim has 16 + 8 = 24 cans in the end. So the final answer is 24.
