Nancy is crafting clay pots to sell. She creates 12 clay pots on Monday, twice as many on Tuesday, a few more on Wednesday, then ends the week with 50 clay pots. How many did she create on Wednesday? Let's be accurate as possible.

On Tuesday, Nancy creates 12 clay pots * 2 = 24 clay plots. So she created a combined total of 12 + 24 = 36 clay pots on Monday and Tuesday. Subtracting this from the number of clay pots she ended the week with means she must have created 50 – 36 = 14 clay pots on Wednesday.
The answer: 14.
