Question

A Farmer picks 242 apples on Monday and 118 apples on Tuesday. On Wednesday, she sells 109 of the apples at the market. Which equation can be used to find a, the number of apples of farmer has left?

Answer 1

the farmer has 242 apples left

Explanation:

A = awnser

M= Monday

T= Tuesday

M= 242

T= 109

W = amount sold or 109

(M+T)-W= total amount left

use order of operations and add whats in the ( )

( 242+109 ) = 351 or ( M+T )

then you would use the sum of ( M+T ) and subtract W or 109 wich would then equal 242 so the equation

( 242+109 ) - 109 would equal 242 or ( M+T ) - W = A
