Question

A teacher brought some apples to distribute among students. After distributing 19 pounds of apples, 3 pounds of apples were left. How many pounds of apples did the teacher originally bring? A. 3 B. 9 C. 16 D. 22

Answer 1

19 pounds of apple was shared and 3 pounds of apple were left to be shared for the students

A

Answer 2

D. 22

Explanation:

We're looking for the sum of 19 pounds and 3 pounds. The teacher gave out 19 pounds of apples. After giving them out, they had 3 pounds left of the total. To find the total, we need to add those amounts:

19 + 3 = 22

We can check our answer by doing this:

22 - 19 = 3

As you can see, if you had 22 pounds of apples and gave out 19 pounds, you are left with 3 pounds. This is the amount left, as mentioned in the problem. The answer is D.
