Sandy has 8 markers. Alex has 6 fewer markers than sandy. Jill has 2 markers. How many markers do they have in all? Show your work. Then explain how you found the answer.

If sandy has 8 and alex has 6 fewer than alex has 2. Since Jill has 2 then you add 8 plus 2 plus 2 which equals 12. So there is 12 all together
