Question

There are 32 students in Jenna's class. Jenna brought in 14 cupcakes. Which equation can be used to find the number of cupcakes the class still needs (n) so that everyone will get one?

Answer 1

n = 32 - 14 (= 18)

Explanation:

You haven't given the answer options, however I assume it will be written in this form. I.e. the number of cupcakes still needed is just the total number of students (32) minus the number that Jenna bought (14).

so n = 32 -14 (=18)
