Marcy had 22 sodas in her fridge for a party. Her friend Tina came over and gave her 12 plus two times the number of sodas Marcy had before. How many sodas will Marcy have for the party? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Two times the sodas Marcy had is 22 * 2 = 44. Tina gave Marcy 44 + 12 = 56 soda. In total Marcy has 22 + 56 = 78 sodas. So, the answer is 78.
