Question

Bernard loves to volunteer. Last year, he spent 65 hours feeding and brushing cats at the pet shelter on Mondays. He also spent time playing cards with senior citizens on Saturdays. In all, Bernard volunteered 188 hours last year.

Answer 1

Bernard spent 123 hours playing cards with senior citizens on Saturdays after subtracting the hours he devoted at the pet shelter from his total volunteer hours of 188.

To find out how many hours Bernard spent playing cards with senior citizens, we need to subtract the hours he spent at the pet shelter from the total volunteer hours. Bernard spent 65 hours on Mondays at the pet shelter and volunteered a total of 188 hours last year.

The number of hours spent playing cards with senior citizens would be:

Total volunteer hours - Hours at pet shelter

= 188- 65

= 123 hours

Therefore, Bernard spent 123 hours in the last year playing cards with senior citizens on Saturdays.
