For this question, we subtract the number of cows out of the barn from the number of cows altogether.

83 - 56 = 27

If C represents the number of cows in the barn, then C = 27.

I hope that helps!

For this question you want to take 83 and subtract 56 which would give you 27. So 33 couldn't be the number of cows still in the barn.
