Question

I have 13 nutcrackers and 14 snowmen on my tree. How many stars are there? Let s repentant the amount of stars.

Hint there is 29 in all.

Answer 1

There are 2 stars

Explanation:

There are 29 items in total.

As we are given the number of two of the items(nutcrackers and snowmen)we can easily find the number of the last item(stars) by subtracting the number of nutcrackers and snowman by the number of total items.(29)

So the solution would be :

29 - (13 + 14) = number of stars

==> add 13 and 14

29 - 27 = number of stars

==> simplify

2 = number of stars
