Question

There are 120 men and 117 women who work at an office in New York. There are 188 people who work at a factory in Dallas. Which equation can you solve to find how many more people work at the office than the factory?

Answer 1

(120 + 117) - 188

Explanation:

In order to determine how many more people work at the office than the factory, we'd find the difference between the total amount of people at both job sites:

Difference = total number of office employees - total number of factory workers

Since we're told that 120 men and 117 women work at the office, while 188 people work at the factory, we'd use the following equation:

(120 + 117) - 188
