Question

A truck has 561 apples on it. It makes a delivery of 241 apples to the farmer's market. The rest of

the apples on the truck are delivered to the grocery store. How many more apples were
delivered to the grocery store than to the farmer's market?

Answer 1

After subtracting the apples delivered to the farmer's market (241) from the total (561), 320 apples were left for the grocery store. The difference between the two amounts delivered equals 79 apples, which is how many more apples the grocery store received.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how many more apples were delivered to the grocery store than to the farmer's market after a truck carrying 561 apples made a delivery of 241 apples to the farmer's market. To find this, we first subtract the number of apples delivered to the farmer's market from the total amount of apples on the truck:

561 apples - 241 apples = 320 apples remaining for the grocery store.

Then, to find out how many more apples were delivered to the grocery store than to the farmer's market, we subtract the number of apples delivered to the farmer's market:

320 apples (grocery store) - 241 apples (farmer's market) = 79 more apples delivered to the grocery store.
