Question

Radha takes some flowers in a basket and visits three temples one by one. At each temple she offers one half of the flowers from the basket. If she is left 3 flowers at the end, find the number of flowers she had in the beginning. (Solve it step by step.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Tasha's flowers total be x

She offers 1/2 flowers in 1st temple

=1/2*x = x/2

Then she offers 1 more half in 2nd temple

= x/2 * 1/2 = x/4

Then she offers 1more half in 3rd temple

= x/2 * x/4= x/8

X/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 =3

X/8=3

X=3*8

X=24

__Verification ____

=24/2 -24/4 -24/8=

=12-6-3=

=3
