Question

Lana has 6 bags with 3 candy bars in each bag. Markus has 3 bags with 4 candy bars in each bag. How many more candy bars does Lana have?

Answer 1

Lana has 6 candy bars more than Markus

Explanation:

6 x 3 = 18

3 x 4 = 12

18 - 12 = 6

Answer 2

Lana has 6 more candy bars than Markus.

Explanation:

Lana has 6 bags, each with 3 candy bars. To find the total amount you multiply 6 by 3 which is 18. Markus has 3 bags, each with 4 candy bars, to find the total amount you also multiply 3 by 4 which is 12. Now you subtract: 18-12=6. So Lana has 6 more candy bars than Markus.
