Question

There are 2,250 benches in a city. The number of red benches is 350 more than the number of blue benches. How many red benches are there in the city?

Answer 1

Answer: 1,300 red benches

Step-by-step explanation: 2,250 benches (red&blue)

it has more 350 red benches than blue. so, 2,250 - 350 = 1,900 benches

1,900 benches divided by 2 (red&blue) = 950 each benches color

blue = 950 benches

red = 950 + 350 = 1,300 benches

Answer 2

2,250-350=1900

1900÷2=950

red: 950+350= 1300

blue: 950

Answer:

1300 red benches

950 blue benches

Proof:

1300+950= 2250
