Question

After putting 80 poppadoms on a plate, my clumsy friend drops them. I use 2 bags to throw them away. If one holds 15 poppadoms, how many go in the other bag?

Please help me figure this out

Answer 1

65 poppadoms

Explanation:

If we have two bags containing all of the poppadoms, and one contains only 15, we can use this equation to solve for the remaining amount in the other bag.

• 80 - 15 = 65

So, there are 65 poppadoms in the second bag.
