Answer:

Paul has five counters.

Explanation:

Paul has an unknown number of counters.

Paul has two less than seven counters.

Let's see the attached drawing. A total number of seven counters.

If we have two less than seven, it means that of the total seven counters, we have to delete two.

C = 7 -2 = 5

So, Paul should have five counters.If we delete the red boxes, we can see the five counters.

This is very simple mathematics. The statement: two less than seven translates to
seven minus two which in arithmetic form is
7 - 2
which is equal to
7 - 2 = 5
Therefore, the number counters that Paul has is 5.
