Question

Tim Has 480 Pokemon cards in his collection, which he arranges in his album. Each page of his album holds 12 cards. The album has 35 pages. Write an expression that shows how many Pokemon cards Tim Has left after he has filled his album completely?

Answer 1

480/12=40 then 40-35=5 5x12=60 60 cards left

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total number of Pokemon cards that Tim has in his collection is 480

He arranges the cards in his album and each page of his album holds 12 cards.

The total number of pages in the album is 35. After he has filled his album completely, the total number of cards that the album would contain would be 35 × 12 = 420

Let x represent the number of Pokemon cards he has left. Therefore, the expression becomes

x + 420 = 480

x = 480 - 420 = 60
