Question

John has B bats and buys C bats more. He then gives away D bats. Which of the following algebraic statements correctly shows how many bats John has left?

A. d - bc
B. b - c - d
C. b + c - d
D. b + d - c

Answer 1

The Correct algebraic expressions is -

C. b + c - d

Explanation-

`\longrightarrow`Initially John has b bats , Now he buys c bat more , therefore no. of bats will be added to determine the number of bats , in algebraic expressions it will be-

b+c

`\longrightarrow`Now John gives away d bats, therefore d bats will be subtracted from number of total bats he have now, in algebraic expressions it will be-

(b+c) - d

=> b+c- d
