Answer:

322

Explanation:

The question explains that the total of both test tubes and beakers were

= 2390.

If 1034 of them were test tubes, then the number of beakers bought,

= 2390 - 1034

= 1356.

The question requires the answer to how many more beakers than test tubes were bought, and this would mean subtracting the number of beakers from the number of test tubes.

= 1356 - 1034

= 322

Therefore, 322 more beakers than test tubes were bought.
