Question

Carla buys two packages of pens. She buys 49 pens in all. Which color pens does Carla buy? Show how you found the answer

Answer 1

Blue and Red

1) Looking at the table, we need to find two addends that make up 49 pens.

2) Examining those number of pens, and colors we can see that we need to sum up 49.

`{\textcolor{blue}{25}}+{\textcolor{red}{24}}=49`

3) Since 25 + 24 yields 49, then we can locate on the table which package has 25 pens, and then which color package has 24 pens.

Blue | 25

Red | 24

Hence, the answer is Blue and Red
