Givens

• There are 127 floats this year.
• That represents 34 fewer floats than last year.

The second given statement expresses that this year there are 34 LESS floats. So, to know how many floats were there last year, we just need to sum

`127+34=161`

Therefore, last year were 161 floats, that is, 34 more than this year.
