Johnny had 70 apples, he sliced 14 in half and ate 9. He threw away 12 slices. How many apples does he have now?

I need help creating an equation
he had 70 - 14 whole ones = 56, then he also had 28 slices
He ate 9 slices so he then had 56 whole ones and 19 half ones
that would be 56 + 19/2 = 65.5
sorry, forgot the 12
he had 70 - 14 whole ones = 56, then he also had 28 slices
He ate 9 and threw 12 slices so he then had 56 whole ones and 7 half ones
that would be 56 + 7/2 = 59 1/2
(70-14) + [(14 *2) - 9 -12 ] / 2
