Question

Mrs. Sullivan had 18 erasers at the end of the day. She remembered giving out 14 and getting back 11, then giving out 13 and getting back 14. How many erasers did she start with?

Answer 1

the answer should be 28

Answer 2

okay it says HOW MANY ERASERS DID SHE START WITH so the number after 14 and 13 don't matter so add both of them giving you 27 + 18 gives you 45 she had 45 erasers to start with
