Answer:

87-30=57

step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

The question asked was how many more pennies are in the bowl than dimes so obviously u have to subtract but subtraction isn't as simple as you think.

for example if you had put subtract it like this

30-87 the answer would have been -57 so to simply avoid that you will have to put 87-30 to get a positive answer
