Question

lory has 56 marbles.She gets 15 marbles for her birthday .lory then gives 22 marbles away .how many marbles does lory have left

Answer 1

Lory has 49 marbles.

Solution:

Number of marbles Lory had before her birthday = 56

Number of marbles Lory got on her birthday = 15

On adding both the above values we get the total number of marbles.

Total number of marbles Lory has =
`\bold{56 + 15 = 71}`

Number of marbles Lory gave away = 22

On subtracting the number of marbles given by Lory from the total number of marbles we get the number of marbles left with Lory

i.e, Number of marbles left with lory =
`\bold{71 - 22 = 49}`

Thus, number of marbles left is 49.
