Problem Analysis

The problem states that a mother left some candies at home for her children. The brother, who came home from school first, took half of the candies and went out to play. Then the sister came home and ate half of the remaining candies. The question is how many candies were there initially.

Solution

Let's solve this problem step by step:

1. The brother took half of the candies. 2. The sister ate half of the remaining candies. 3. There were three candies left after the sister ate.

To find the initial number of candies, we can work backward from the given information.

Let's assume the initial number of candies was X.

1. The brother took half of the candies, so he took X/2 candies. 2. After the brother took his share, there were X/2 candies left. 3. The sister ate half of the remaining candies, so she ate (X/2)/2 = X/4 candies. 4. After the sister ate her share, there were (X/2) - (X/4) = X/4 candies left. 5. There were three candies left, so we can set up the equation X/4 = 3 to find the initial number of candies.

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of X.

Calculation

To solve the equation X/4 = 3 for X, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

X = 3 * 4

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

X = 12

Therefore, the initial number of candies was 12.

Answer

There were 12 candies initially.
