Question

This year, 432 middle school students ordered a yearbook. So far, 398

yearbooks have been distributed.
Which of the following will help find how many more students still
need a yearbook?
x +398 = 432; x = 36
X + 398 = 432; x = 34
2 – 398 = 432; x = 830
2 – 398 = 432; x = 34

Answer 1

total books = 432

total books distributed = 398

total books needed = x

equation:

`\tt x+398=432;x=34`

Answer 2

B is the answer

Explanation:

This answer is reasonable because it shows that 398 + x (the amount that still has to be distributed) equal the total amount of middle school students who ordered a year book.
