Answer 1

444 and yes it is more

Explanation:

Given that

There is 375 fish that are swimming in a school

First, 47 fish swim away

Then 116 more fish join the school

We need to find out the number of fish in the school now

So,

= 375 - 47 + 116

= 444

It is more than 375 fish in the school

Basically we deduct the fishes that swim away and add the fishes that join the school
