Question

The sign below advertises a sale on canned tomatoes.

SALE
Canned Tomatoes $1.
Limit 8 cans per customer
Mrs. Gonzalez wants to buy 10 cans at the sale price.
Which expression represents the number of cans by
which she will exceed the limit?
O 10-8
O8-10
O8+2
O 10+ 2

Answer 1

The answer is A: 10-8
Why? Because if the limit for the number of cans at the sale price is 8 and Mrs. Gonzalez wants to buy 10 she will go 2 over the allowed limit. And the expression 10-8 = 2 cans.

Check:
We can check this by adding 2+8 which equals 10

Hoped this helped :)
