Question

#1 - This morning there were 46

fish in an aquarium and 67 fish in
the other aquarium. At noon, 28
fish were sold. How many fish are
left in the aquariums?
A. 85 fish
B. 113 fish
C. 39 fish
D. 2 aquariums
E. 85 aquariums

Answer 1

Total fish=46+67=113
Remain fish=113-28=85

Answer 2

First, we add 46 and 67 to find how many total fish there are!

46 fish + 67 fish = 113 fish

Now, 38 fish were sold, so we subtract!

113 total fish - 28 sold fish = 85 fish

There are 85 fish left! Your answer is A
