Question

Janet and Ross bought 24 cherries. Ross ate 9 cherries (R). Which of the following equations represents the remaining cherries that Janet has (J)?J = 24 - 9R = 24 × 9J = 24 + 9R = 24/9

Answer 1

Given that

The total cherries are 24 and Ross ate 9 cherries.

Explanation -

Let the cherries bought by Janet and Ross be J and R respectively.

Then,

J + R = 24

and Ross ate 9 of them.

So,

J + 9 = 24

J = 24 - 9

So the correct option is A

The final answer is J = 24 - 9
