Question

Jerry needs 216 posts to build a fence. He has 88 posts and needs P more. Write an equation that you could use to find the number of posts jerry still needs.

Answer 1

P = 128 Post

Explanation:

Total post needed = 216 posts

Number of post Jerry has = 88 posts

Number of posts jerry still needs = P

Total = Number of post Jerry has + Number of posts jerry still needs

216 = 88 + P

216 - 88 = P

128 = P

P = 128 Post
