Tim bought 5 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. the next day his dog ate half of his collection. there are now only 27 cards left. how many cards did tim start with?

X+5/2=27 ,so 49 plus 5 equals 54/2 equals 27  I got close to 54 and saw  divided by 2 =27 and then I had to figure the number 49 by 49+5 would equal 54 and 54 is the answer.

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.

7/2

(decimal: 3.5)
