Question

Can someone help me with this problem?

In 2004, there were 3344 amusement parks and arcades. This decreased by 148 by 2009. Write and evaluate an expression to find the number of amusement parks and arcades in 2009

Answer 1

Number of amusement parks and arcades in 2004 = 3344

Decrease in the number of amusement parks from 2004 to 2009 = 148

So, the expression to calculate the total number of amusement parks and arcades in 2009 is 3344 - 148

Evaluating the expression we get the total number of amusement parks and arcades in 2009 as 3196

Hope that help!
