Question

1. An auto shop has 98 cans of oil at the

beginning of the day. 12 hours later,
there are 10 cans remaining. How
many were sold? Which variable is most Important.

Answer 1

88 cans were sold, the most important variable is how much you started with and how much you ended with

Explanation:

88 cans were sold because 98-10=88, and the most important variable is how much you started and ended with because the question asks how much were sold and you can't know that without knowing the start amount and end amount which is the 2 variables I used to get 88 in the equation (98-10)

The Equation is 98-10=88
