Answer 1

Subtract the number of offices painted yellow and blue from the total to find that 25 offices will be painted beige.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question at hand requires us to find out how many offices will be painted beige given that 45 offices will be painted yellow and 30 offices will be painted blue out of a total of 100 offices. To find this, we subtract the number of offices painted yellow and blue from the total number of offices.

1. Start with the total number of offices: 100 offices.
2. Subtract the number of offices painted yellow: 100 - 45 = 55 offices remaining.
3. Subtract the number of offices painted blue from the remaining offices: 55 - 30 = 25 offices.
4. The answer is that 25 offices will be painted beige.
