Question

Megan's father finds the number of hot dogs the snack shop sold. He knows he bought 2,074 hot dogs, and he has 296 left, but he doesn't know how many he sold. Which answer below is correct?

Answer 1

1,778

Explanation:

According to the problem, given data are as follows,

Number of hotdogs bought = 2,074

Number of hotdogs remaining = 296

So, we can calculate the number of hotdogs sold by using following method:

Number of hotdogs sold = Number of hotdogs bought - Number of hotdogs remaining

By putting the value, we get

Number of hotdogs sold = 2,074 - 296

= 1,778

Hence, total number of hotdogs sold are 1,778.
