Tuesday's high temperature was $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ warmer than that of Monday's. Wednesday's high temperature was $6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ cooler than that of Monday's. If Tuesday's high temperature was $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, what was Wednesday's high temperature?
(A) $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(B) $24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(C) $12^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(D) $32^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(E) $16^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

(B) $24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(C) $12^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(D) $32^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
(E) $16^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

## Solution

If Tuesday's temperature was $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ then Monday's high temperature was $18^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Wednesday's temperature was $12^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ since it was $6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ cooler than that of Monday's high temperature.
