Question

C. Aria was having a birthday party for her friend. She ordered two pizzas for the party.

Each pizza had 24 slices. When the party was over, 17 slices were left. How many
slices of pizza were eaten at the party.

Answer 1

31

Explanation:

Each pizza had 24 slices so 2 pizzas had 24+24 or 24x2 = 48 slices

If only 17 remains, 48-17 = 31 slices got eaten

Answer 2

31 eaten

Explanation:

She started with 2 pizzas with 24 slices each

2*24 = 48

17 slices were left

48 - 17 = 31

That means 31 were eaten
