Question

At Camp Sunshine, 4 kids went home sick. Of the remaining campers, 18 kids went hiking and the other 41 kids spent the day swimming. How many kids started the day at Camp Sunshine?

Answer 1

63 kids

Explanation:

We know that there are some kids who went home sick, some went hiking and some went swimming.

The total number of kids that started the day at Camp Sunshine can be found by adding the number who went home sick, went hiking and went swimming.

sick + hiking + swimming

4 went home sick, 18 went hiking and 41 went swimming.

4+ 18 + 41

Add the numbers together

22+ 41

63

63 kids started the day at Camp Sunshine.

Answer 2

63 kids

Explanation:

We can add up the number of students who went home sick, hiked, and swam to find the total amount of people.

`4+18+41 = 63`

Therefore, 63 kids started their day at Camp Sunshine.

I get that feeling I oversimplified this one, let me know if I did. I'm not sure if this is right.
