Answer 1

Part A:

The correct expression for how many pencils Ms. Florinda has left after giving them out to her students is:

A. 100 - 2 × (22 - 19)

Part B:

To determine whether Ms. Florinda has enough pencils to give each of her students 2, we can calculate the total number of pencils needed. The total number of students is the sum of the students in both classes, which is 22 + 19 = 41.

If each student needs 2 pencils, then the total number of pencils needed is 2 × 41 = 82.

Comparing this with the initial number of pencils Ms. Florinda bought (100), we can see that she has more than enough pencils to give each of her students 2.

Yes, she has enough pencils to give each of her students 2.

She has 18 more than she needs.
