Garrett is a member of The Mighty Manatees, an outdoor swim team. Every practice, his coach tells him to swim a target number of laps. One day, Garrett swims 31 laps before practice is canceled due to a thunderstorm. Garrett still has 29 laps left to reach his target number.​

His target number is 60. This is because he swam 31 laps BEFORE his practice was canceled. However, the problem states he still has 29 laps to complete to reach the target number.

31 + 29 = 60
