Question

The school cafeteria ordered 57 green apples. They ordered 8 times as many red apples. There are 3 different lunch periods. If 372 students ate apples, how many apples are left?

Answer 1

Apples left = 141

Explanation:

Green apples = 57

Red apples = 8 × green apples

= 456

Red apples = 456

Total apples = red apples + green apples

= 57 + 456

= 513 apples

If 372 students are apples

Apples left = 513 - 372

= 141 apples
