You collect pens. Suppose you start out with 7. Mike gives you another 22 pens. Since her father makes pens, Cindy decides to double your pens. Since you're nice, you give Sharon 19 pens. How many pens do you have at the end? 

Solution:

The given word problem is about the application of four basic operations. At the start, you have 7 pens. 

If Mike gives you 22 pens, then you have 7 + 22 = 29 pens.

If Cindy doubles your pens, then you have 29 x 2 = 58 pens.

Since you're nice, you give Sharon 19 pens. Therefore, you have 58 - 19 = 39 pens left at the end.

You collect coins. Suppose you start out with 11. Since his mother makes coins, Miguel decides to double your coins. Since you're nice, you give Mary 12 coins. How many coins do you have at the end?  Solution: The given word problem is about the application of four basic operations. At the start, you have 11 coins.  If Miguel doubles the number of coins you have, then you have 11 x 2 = 22 coins.  Since you're nice, then you give 12 coins to Mary. Therefore, you have 22 - 12 = 10 coins left at the end.
