Question

Cam has 48 thank-you notes to write after his graduation party. He writes 15 of the 48 thank-you notes on Saturday. If Cam writes 15 of the remaining thank-you notes on Sunday, how many thank-you notes does he still have to write after Sunday?

A. 8
B. 23
C. 25
D. 27

Answer 1

After writing 15 thank-you notes on Saturday and another 15 on Sunday from the original 48, Cam has 18 thank-you notes left to write.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate how many thank-you notes Cam still has to write after completing some of them over the weekend. Initially, Cam has 48 thank-you notes to write.

On Saturday, he writes 15 of them, which leaves him with 48 - 15 = 33 thank-you notes. Then, on Sunday, he writes another 15 notes, reducing the number of unwritten thank-you notes to 33 - 15 = 18 thank-you notes. So after Sunday, Cam still has to write 18 thank-you notes.
