Math Task

Here is the math task we will be completing in class later this week... Enjoy!! 
~ Mr. Hinson


Yesterday, Jasmine bought a bag of pretzels to share with her friends.  However, by the time she got home from the store she had eaten ¼ of the pretzels.  As she was putting the groceries away, she ate ½ of what was left.  There are now 6 pretzels left in the bag. 

How many pretzels were in the bag to begin with?

What steps did you take to solve this problem?
