Question

Mariam has 126 pieces of chocolate and 16 pieces of hard candy. Her sister has

87 pieces of chocolate and 38 pieces of hard candy. How many pieces of
chocolate do they have in total? *

Answer 1

The answer is 213.

Explanation:

The question states "how many pieces of chocolate." Not "How much candy and chocolate in total." Therefore all I have to do is 126 (Mariams chocolate count) + 87 (Her sisters choclate count).

Good luck, I hope this helped!!
