Question

Mr. Parker has 982 pounds of grain. He feeds 240 pounds ro his pigs and 460 to his cows. How much grain does he have left

Answer 1

Starting amount: 982 pounds of grain

Since Mr. Parker fed 240 pounds of grain to his pigs, subtract 240 pounds from 982 pounds of grain.

982 - 240 = 742

After feeding pigs: 742 pounds of grain

Mr. Parker fed another 460 pounds of grain to his cows from his 742 pounds, so subtract 460 pounds from 742 pounds.

742 - 460 = 282

After feeding pigs and cows: 282 pounds of grain

Mr. Parker has 282 pounds of grain left.
