Question 170392: Stephanie gave her mother 3 wristbands at the end of the day. During the day, she bought 7 wristbands and gave her little brother 2 wristbands. Stephanie began the day with 11 wristbands. That amount doubled when her father gave her more wristbands. How many wristbands did Stephanie have at the end of the day?
To solve this problem, which piece of information needs to be determined first?

you need to double the amount of wristbands she had at the beginning of the day which makes 22, then you add the 7 she bought during the day and subtract out the 2 she gave her brother , and the 3 she gave her mother.....ending with 24 at the end of the day.
