Mike collected cans to recycle:

- In March he collected 26 pounds

-In April he collected 56 pounds

-In May he collected 32 pounds

To determine how many more cans he collected in April than in May, you have to calculate the difference between the pounds of aluminum cans collected in April and in May:


\text{April-May}=56-32=24

He collected 24 pounds more in April than in May.
