Question

Leo has d stamps and Pete has 2 times as many. How many more stamps does Pete have than Leo?

Answer 1

2d

Explanation:

Since Pete has double what Leo has, we need to multiply Leo's number of stamps by 2. But because we don't know how many he actually has, and the amount is represented by "d", we multiple "d" by 2

Answer 2

• d

Explanation:

• Leo has d stamps
• Pete gas 2 times as many = 2d

The difference is

• 2d - d = d

Pete had d more stamps than Leo
