Answer 1

billy has 1233 oranges

Explanation:

557+676=1233

you add 557 and 676 to figure out how much billy has

you can check your answer by subtracting 1233-557=676

Answer 2

Billy has 1233 oranges.

Explanation:

This is a simple, they have this many more than this person has, so an example is the B has 1 book, but Alex has a book collection of 10 books. They both have more than one book, but Alex has 10 books in total, with 9 more than B does.

So, for this question, Tom has 557, and Bill had 676 more than him, so that would mean you need to add 676 and 557 together to get 1233 oranges for just Billy. So that would be our answer.
