Question

If Margot had six apples and gave Maggie 4, how many apples does Margot have left?

Answer 1

Margot initially had 6 apples and after giving 4 to Maggie, she now has 2 apples remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Margot started with six apples and she gave away four to Maggie, we need to calculate the remaining number of apples Margot has. We can do this through a simple subtraction problem.

1. Start with the original number of apples Margot has 6 apples.
2. Subtract the number of apples given to Maggie: 4 apples.
3. Calculate the difference: 6 apples - 4 apples = 2 apples.

Therefore, after giving Maggie 4 apples, Margot is left with 2 apples.
