Answer:

there were 22 folders originally

Michaela originally has 27 folders. Hence option D) is correct.

Michaela has three times  as many folders as Alejandro.
Michaela gives Alejandro 5 folders, but still has 8 more than Alejandro.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Now, let Alejandro has x folders corresponding Michaela has 3x folders
According to the condition
3x-5 =  x+5+8

2x = 18
x = 9
now
Michaela = 3x
= 3 x 9
= 27

Thus, Michaela originally has 27 folders.
