Question

Mrs.Herron has 42 pencils. She passes out 34 pencils to her students. How many pencils does Mrs.herron have left

Answer 1

She has 8 pencils left

Here, we want to find out the number of pencils Mrs.Herron has left

Initially, she has a total of 42 pencils and now she passes out 34 pencils

So, what she has left will be what she originally has minus what is left

Mathematically, that would be;

42-34 = 8 pencils
