Question

Emma bought 17 packages of rolls for a party. There were 18 rolls in a package. After the party there were 8 rolls left over. How many roles were Eaten

Answer 1

298 rolls

Explanation:

As per the above, we were given that Emma bought 17 packages of rolls.

We need to find the number of rolls in the packages that he bought, hence

Total rolls = 17 packages × 18 rolls per package

= 306 rolls

Furthermore, since we have 8 rolls leftover, then total number of rolls eaten would be;

Rolls eaten = Total number of rolls in the beginning - rolls leftover

= 306 - 8

= 298 rolls

It therefore means that 298 rolls were eaten by Emma.
