Question

In one year, a school uses 13,270 pieces of white paper, 6,570 fewer pieces of blue paper than white paper, and 2,600 fewer pieces of yellow paper than blue paper. How many pieces of paper does the school use in all?

Answer 1

24,070 the school uses in all

Explanation:

You subtract 13,270 by 6,570 and you get 6,700 pieces of blue paper. Then, you subtract 6,700 by 2,600 and you get 4,100 pieces of yellow paper. Finally, you add the total of pieces of white, blue, and yellow paper and you get 24,070 for the total.
