Question

Melanie needs 5,000 chocolates for an event so far she has brought 2 cases of 1,125 chocolates each how many more does she need

Answer 1

2,750

Explanation:

2 cases of 1,125 chocolates = 2,250 chocolates

5,000 - 2,250 = 2,750 more chocolates needed

(that's also 3 cases of chocolates needed :p)

Answer 2

2750 chocolates

Explanation:

Find how much she has bought already:

1,125(2)

= 2,250

Then, subtract this from 5,000

5000 - 2250

= 2750

So, she still needs 2750
