Question

Lee put 8 pencils on each of 7 desks. He had 4 pencils left over. He wants to put 12 pencils on each of the desks. How many more pencils does he need?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

he already has eight on each desk with 4 left over.

12-8=4

4*7=28

since he had 4 left over from the beginning we can subtract that from 24

28-4=24
