Question

Easy Cooking to a cooking supply company Last year, the company sold 21,000 ovens. This year, they sold 49 fewer ovens than that

How many ovens did they sell this year?

Answer 1

20,951 ovens

Explanation:

Last year, the company sold 21,000 ovens. This year, they sold 49 fewer ovens that that.

Fewer, means less, or subtractions. Therefore; we must subtract 49 (the difference between this year and last year) from 21,000 (the number of ovens sold this year)

21,000-49

20,951

The company sold 20,951 ovens this year.

Answer 2

20,951

Explanation:

If the company sold 21,00 ovens and this year they sold 49 fewer, then that means we are being told to subtract 49 from 21,00 which is the initial value.

21,000-49 = 20,951

therefore, this year they sold 20,951 (twenty-thousand nine hundred fifty one) ovens.
