Question

Your cat Fluffy weighs 10.4 pounds. This is 24.4 pounds less than the weight of your dog. Write a subtraction equation to find the weight of your dog.

Answer 1

We can take the dog’s weight as x
x- 24.4 = 10.4
This equation can be rearranged as:
x = 10.4 + 24.4
Simplifying further:
x = 34.8
