Question

Mika is a school janitor. Last week, she picked up a total of 708 pieces of trash. If she picked up 466 pieces of trash in the classrooms, how many pieces of trash did Mika pick up outside the classrooms?

Answer 1

To find out the pieces she picked outside of the classroom, you'll subtract the total by the # of pieces picked inside the classroom.

708 - 466 = 242

She picked 242 pieces outside of the classroom.

Hope this helps :)
