I dont understand what there lookking for i have tried times dividing and adding i just dont know what to do the problem is a word promblem if jo haves 90 cards and june have 40 and then kayla take 30 cards from everyone how much do they have left

Answer 1

Problem: If Jo has 90 cards and June has 40, then Kayla takes 30 cards from everyone, how many do they have left?

The keyword "takes" or "take away" implies that we are subtracting. If I had 5 cookies, and you took 2 away, I now have 3. Or, 5 - 2 = 3.

Step 1: Subtract 30 cards from Jo and June

Jo = 90 cards

June = 40 cards

90 - 30 = 60 cards (Jo)

40 - 30 = 10 cards (June)

To find how many they have remaining together, you can add the number of cards that Jo has to the number of cards that June has.

Jo = 60 cards

June = 10 cards

In total = 60 + 10 = 70 cards

Hope this helps!! :)
