Question

A backpacking company requires each camper to bring a lantern to go on a trip. The company supplies 4 extra in case any lanterns get lost or broken. If 13 campers go on the trip, how many lanterns will they bring?

Answer 1

17 lanterns.

Explanation:

There are 13 campers with one lantern each, so that will be 13 * 1 = 13 lanterns.

The company supplies 4 extra lanterns for the whole group.

So, they will bring 13 + 4 = 17 lanterns.

Hope this helps!
