Question

Ron's youth group commits to making a certain number of sandwiches for a local soup

kitchen. They make 132 sandwiches, but then they run out of peanut butter. The group still
has 110 sandwiches left to make to meet their commitment.
Use an equation to find the total number of sandwiches the youth group commits to making.
sandwiches

Answer 1

242 sandwiches

Explanation:

The group wants to make x number of sandwiches.

They have already made 132 sandwiches and still have 110 sandwiches to make.

To find the total, you can add these numbers up, because:

132 + 110 = total sandwiches

This way, you get 242 sandwiches
