Question

This year, a farmer planted 400,000 corn stalks. last year,the farmer planted 276,650 corn stalks. how many more corn stalks did the farmer plant this year then last year.

Answer 1

To get the difference between the two years you have to take the numbers away from eachother.
So in this case, 400,000-276,650= 123,350

This means that this year the farmer planted 123,350 more corn stalks this year compared to last year.
