Question

Rita wants to pour 96.57 grams of salt into a container. So far, she has poured 17.5 grams. How much more salt should Rita pour?

Answer 1

This is a substraction problem, since you know how much Rita wants in the container and how much she has poured so far write an equation for the problem

`Saltmissing=Goal-\text{Salt she has poured already}`

write with the numbers

`\begin{gathered} saltmisg=96.57-17.5 \\ saltmisg=79.07 \end{gathered}`
