At the end of February there are 692 houses in our town. Some new house are built in March. At the end of March there are 967 houses. How many houses are built in March?

Answer 1

In March 275 houses were built.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of houses that were built in march we need to take the total amount of houses at the end of the month and subtract it by the amount we had before march. This is shown bellow:

houses built in march = houses in the end of march - houses in the end of february

houses built in march = 967 - 692 = 275 houses

So in March 275 houses were built.
