Question

A market has a total of 14 baskets of apples. Each basket contains red, yellow, and green apples. There are 36 apples in each basket. The market has a total of 225 red apples and 120 yellow apples.

How many green apples does the market have?

Answer 1

The answer is 159 green apples .
Here's why:
14 times 36 = 504
225 + 120=345
504 - 345=159
You multiply 36 by 14 because the result is going to be the total of green , yellow and red apples .
The total is 504 and the total of yellow and red apples is 345 .
You subtract those two to find the total of green apples , which is 159.

Answer 2

159 green

If there are 14 baskets of apples and 36 apples in each basket then there are 504 apples in all (14*36=504)

Then you can take 504-225-120 (the red and the yellow) and whatever is left must be the green. That equals 159.

Hope that helps.
