Ricardo lost 6 golf balls while playing yesterday he bought a box of twelve golf balls then lost 4 on the course today he now has 18 golf balls how many golf balls did Ricardo have to begin with?
Ricardo has 16 golf balls, to begin with. He started out with 16, and lost 6, 16 - 6 = 10. He bought 12 golf balls, 10 + 12 = 22. He lost 4 golf balls, 22 - 4 = 18. So in the end, he has 18.
