Question

Aunt May milks her holstein cows twice a day. This morning she got 365 gallons of milk. This evening we got some more gallons. She sold 612 gallons to the local ice cream factory, which left her with 928 gallons from the day. How many gallons of milk did she get from the afternoon milking?

Answer 1

Answer: 1,175 gallons

Explanation: You want to add the amount she sold and the amount she left over, so you can find how much she got in total, then minus the amount she got from the morning milking to find what she got in the afternoon.

612+928= 1,540

1,540-365= 1,175
