Andy was on his way to a marble tournament when he met Bob. Andy's bag of marbles was heavy, so he gave Bob 1/2 of his marbles plus two. Then he met Alex and gave him 1/4 of his remaining marbles plus five. Just before arriving at the tournament, He met Emily and gave her 1/2 of the marbles he had left. When he got to the tournament, he had two marbles left. How many marbles did he start with?

Let the total number of marbles be x.marbles remaining after giving to bob is x/2 - 2.again after giving alex he has 3/4*(x/2-2)-5 after meeting Emily he has 1/2 *{3/4*(x/2-2)-5}Which is equal to 2...so the total number of marbles were 28 at the beginning.
