Question

A student club set a goal of donating 50 blankets to a local shelter. Two classes have participated so far. Ms. Carter’s class gathered 18 blankets and Mr. Moriarti’s class gathered 23 blankets. How many more blankets are needed to reach the goal of 50 blankets?

Answer 1

First we need to figure out how many blankets they have total

23 + 18 = 41

Now we subtract 41 by 50

50 - 41 = 9

9 more blankets are needed to reach the goal

Hope this helps
