Question

Joey is putting all of his trophies onto 5 shelves. If he places 6 trophies on each shelf but still has 4 trophies left over, how many trophies does he have?

Answer 1

34 because 6 x 5 equals 30. If he has four left over then he has 30+4 which equals 34.

Answer 2

The answer would be 34 trophies. If you multiply 6 trophies by 5 shelves, you will get 30 trophies, but the question says that there is 4 left so you will have to add the remainder to get an answer of 34 trophies.
