Math Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - May 9, 2021 to May 15, 2021

Lower Elementary: 

Question: Anna picks twice as many tomatoes as Brayden. Catherine picks 12 more tomatoes than Brayden. If Catherine picks 16 tomatoes, then how many tomatoes does Anna pick? 

Answer: 8 tomatoes

Solution: Catherine has 16 tomatoes, so Brayden must have 16 - 12 = 4 tomatoes. Anna has twice as many, so she has 4 x 2 = 8 tomatoes.
