    - - After dog ate 1/2 of the collection, there were 29 remaining.

    - - Just before dog came along, there were (2 x 29) = 58 cards.

    - - That was after Dan added 5 new ones.

    - - Before he added the 5 new ones, there were (58 - 5) = 53 cards.

    - - When this story began, Dan had 53 cards.

    first you double 29

    than subtract the 5 new cards

    29 x 2 - 5

    58-5

    your answer is 53
