Question

At the beginning of the week, Paloma opened a new box of 250 coffee creamers. Forty-four coffee creamers were used during the week. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of coffee creamers left at the end of the week?

A. x - 44 = 250
B. 44 - 250 = x
C. 44x = 250
D. x + 44 = 250

Answer 1

Hello, the correct answer would be B. Because if she had 250 then used 44 you would subtract 44 from 250 to find x

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

I disagree it wouldn’t be b bc you would get a negative number the answer is D you need to subtract the part from the whole
