Respuesta :
he had 44 cookies because if he gave out half of them then you would add what he had left after he gave the other half of them away which 14+ 8 is 22 and 22×2 is 44 so the answer is 44 cookies
He started with 44 cookies.
8+14=22
22×2=44
To check your answer,
44÷2=22
22-14=8
8 cookies remaining at the end of the day!
