Final answer:

To determine how many apples Bob has after Sally took 929, you simply subtract 929 from the original 1000 apples, resulting in Bob having 71 apples left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem presented involves a simple subtraction question where we have an initial amount of apples, and a certain quantity is taken away. Bob initially had 1000 apples, and Sally took 929 apples. To find out how many apples Bob has left, we subtract the number of apples Sally took from the number of apples Bob originally had.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Start with the total number of apples Bob has: 1000 apples.
  2. Subtract the number of apples Sally took: 1000 apples - 929 apples.
  3. Calculate the difference to find the remaining apples.

In this case, 1000 - 929 = 71, so Bob is left with 71 apples after Sally took her share.
