Let x be the number of apples left after Jim and Kellie eat.

We have an equation: x apples+ 20 apples+ 5 apples= 100 apples.

Now let's solve the above equation:
x+20+5=100
⇒ x= 100-5-20
⇒ x= 75.

The number of apples left is 75 (apples)~

Answer: 75; 100-25-5


- - To solve this you are going to subtract.
Because you are taking away apples, in this case eating them

- - So: 100-20-5

Answer: 75

✡Hope this helps!
