Question

The volleyball team sold 16 items on the first day of a bake sale, 28 items the second day, and 12 items the last day. There were 4 items left that had not been purchased. How many total items were for sale at the bake sale?

Answer 1

16+28+12=56

56+4=60

There were 60 total items for sale at the bake sale.

Answer 2

60 items.

Explanation:

The number of items sold on the first day = 16

The number of the items sold on the second day = 28

The number of the items sold on the last day = 12

The number of the items that had not been purchased = 4

Total items were for sale = 16 + 28 + 12 + 4

= 60 items

Total 60 items were for sale at the bake sale.
