Tony bought n football He gave half of them to Karen Then gave 2 cards to Jeff and had 6 cards left How many cards did Tony buy?

Answer 1

Let the number of football cards Tony bought be ( n ). He gave half to Karen, so he had ( \frac{n}{2} ) left. After giving 2 cards to Jeff, he had ( \frac{n}{2} - 2 = 6 ). Solving this equation, ( \frac{n}{2} = 8 ), so ( n = 16 ). Thus, Tony bought 16 football cards.
