My question is: Michelle is bringing sandwiches to work to give to her co-workers. She gives 4 sandwiches to one of her co-workers and keeps twice this amount for herself. If she had originally made 20 sandwiches, how many sandwiches does she have left to give to her other co-workers? Your thoughts:
Michelle kept 4 sandwiches * 2 = 8 sandwiches for herself. This leaves 20 total sandwiches 4 sandwiches for a coworker 8 sandwiches for herself = 8 sandwiches for her other co - workers. The final answer: 8.
