Question

Wendy had eight less hair clips than her sister. If her sister had c clips, how many clips did Wendy have?

Answer 1

Wendy had c - 8 hair clips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the number of hair clips Wendy had as x.

We are given that Wendy had eight less hair clips than her sister. Since her sister had c clips, we can write a mathematical expression for Wendy's hair clips as x = c - 8.

Therefore, Wendy had c - 8 hair clips.
