Question

Lori bought 256 pieces of candy to give to her friends. All but 78 pieces were chocolate. In the heat, 49 pieces of chocolate melted. How many pieces of chocolate were not melted? A 178 B 129 C 334 D 383

Answer 1

B

1) Given that Lori bought 256 pieces of candy

256 - 78 = 178 chocolates in total.

Melted Chocolates = 49

2) So let's subtract from the total number of chocolates the number of melted chocolates

178 chocolates - 49 melted chocolates = 129 not melted chocolates

3) So the answer is 129 chocolates
