A box of apples was delivered to Paul's Pies and Cakes. He put half of the apples aside for a pie he would make later. He put 25 of the remaining apples in the refrigerator. That left 6 apples to use in his muffins. How many apples were in the box at first?

Answer 1

Box/2 - 25 = 6
B/2 = 31
B = 62

Answer 2

Half = 25 + 6

Take it from there.
