1. First solve each of the problems below.

2. Then write an algorithm for each of these two problems. Either English sentences OR pseudocode is acceptable.
   1. Ms. Shoe kept 2 meatballs for herself, then divided the others equally among her 14 children. If each child got 5 meatballs, how many did Ms. Shoe have to begin with ?

   Tips about problem #1:

   • Your algorithm should allow Ms. Shoe to keep any number of meatballs for herself. This amount should be specified by the user.
   • The user should also specify the number of children
   • The user should also specify the number of meatballs per child.

   2. Ms. Match went to a store, spent half of her money and then $ 10 more. She went to a second store, spent half the money she had left and then $ 10 more. She then had no money left. How much money did Ms. Match have when she started out ?

   Tips about problem # 2:

   • Ms. Match should always have no money left at the end.
   • The user should specify the number of stores.
   • The user should specify the "amount more" that Ms. Match spends at each store, but it will be the same amount at each store.
