Question

There are 6 buses going on a field trip. There are 30 students on each bus. When they get to the park 42 students when to the slides. 28 students went to the swings. 39 students went to the grassy area to eat lunch. How many students are left?

Answer 1

There are 71 students that are left

Explanation:

Let's calculate the number of students left this way:

Total students = 30 * 6 = 180

Students that went to the the slides = 42

Students that went to the the swings = 28

Students that went to the the swings = 39

Students left = Total students - Students that went to the the slides - Students that went to the the swings - Students that went to the the swings

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Students left = 180 - 42 - 28 - 39

Students left = 180 - 109

Students left = 71
