Question

Elmer is selling 28 bags of boondins each bag contains 28 boondins if patrica buys 50 bags how many are left

Answer 1

22 bags or 28 bags

Explanation:

There can be two answers:

ANSWER 1:

28 bags because Elmer is only selling that amount. You must pick based on the curriculum you have learned!

ANSWER 2:

First let's do; (To find out how many total boondins Elmer is selling)

28 * 28 = 784

Than do; (Find out how many total boondins Patricia bought)

50 * 28 = 1400

Now we subtract, (Subtract what Patricia bought to how many Elmer sells in order to find out the remaining boondins)

1400 - 784 = 616

Now divide, (Divide to find out the total amount of bags left)

616 / 28 = 22

22 bags!

Answer 2

If Elmer is selling 28 bags that means Patrica can’t buy 50 because there wouldn’t be enough, it would be -22
