Question

Becca has 115 students. Susana has 8 fewer students than Becca. Erika has 25 more students than Susana. How many students does Susana have? *

Answer 1

Susana will have 107 students.

Explanation:

Becca have students = 115

• Susana has 8 fewer students than Becca.

We can write its as:

Becca has 115 students, so Susana will have 115-8 = 107 students

Because fewer means less than so, 8 less than 115 is 115-8

• Erika has 25 more students than Susana.

We can write it as:

Susana has 107 students, so Erika will have: 107+25 = 132 students.

because more means we need to add 25 students with number of students in Susana class.

So, Susana will have 107 students.
