Can you solve these math problems?

I'm thinking of a number,
I add 175 to my number
Then I half the number,
The answer is 87.5.

What number did I start with?


I'm thinking of a number,
I add 215 to my mumber
Then I half it then half it again,
The answer is 55.

What number did I start with?

87.5 * 2 = 175 +175= 350

you thought of 250


55 * 2 = 110 * 2 = 220 + 215 = 435

you thought of 435
