Question

Julia has 48 Donuts she eat five of them her dad is ate 3 of them her mom ate 16 of them how many left

Answer 1

First rewrite the equation.

48 - 5 - 3 - 16 =

To make the equation easier to comprehend (this is the way I do it, do it whichever way makes you feel comfortable)

ADD 5 + 3 or 16 + 5 or 16 + 3 or 5 + 3 + 16

then subract

the answer will be

24

Answer 2

48 - 16 = 32

32 - 5 = 27

27 - 3 = 24

There are 24 donuts left.

Another way to find out how many are left is:

16 + 5 = 21

21 + 3 = 24

48 - 24 = 24

Answer - 24
