Question

If Stalingrad had 35,000 toy soldiers and 12,000 PPSH-41s, and Wehrmacht had 50,000 toy soldiers and 53,000 MP-40s, how many toy soldiers and MP-40s would have to "disappear" in order for their total amount of resources to be equal to Stalingrad's toy soldiers and PPSH-41s?

`\bold{ANSWER:}`
56000


`\bold{SOLUTION:}`

Answer 2

56,000 toy soldiers and PPSH-41s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can use the following steps:

Calculate the total resources of Stalingrad.

Stalingrad's total resources = 35,000 toy soldiers + 12,000 PPSH-41s

= 47,000

Calculate the total resources of Wehrmacht.

Wehrmacht's total resources = 50,000 toy soldiers + 53,000 MP-40s

= 103,000

`Calculate the difference between Wehrmacht's total resources and Stalingrad's total resources.

Difference in total resources = Wehrmacht's total resources - Stalingrad's total resources

= 103,000 - 47,000

= 56,000

Calculate the number of toy soldiers and MP-40s that would have to disappear from Wehrmacht in order for their total resources to be equal to Stalingrad's total resources.

Number of toy soldiers and MP-40s that would have to disappear = 56,000

Therefore, 56,000 toy soldiers and MP-40s would have to disappear from Wehrmacht.
