Question

Cate and elena were playing a card game. The stack of cards in the middle had24 cards to begin with. Cate added 8 cards to the stack. Elena then took 12 cards. Finally, Cate took 9 cards from the stack. How many cards were left in the stack?

Answer 1

11 Cards.

Explanation:

The stack has 24 cards. Cate added 8 cards. 24 + 8 = 32.

Elena then took 12 cards. In other words, 32 - 12 = 20.

Finally, Cate took 9 cards from the stack. 20 - 9 = 11. So the resulting amount of cards in the stack is 11.
