Question

Summer day camp is about to begin. Today there are 132 boys signed up and 219 total children signed up. How many more than girls are signed up for camp?

Answer 1

To find the number of girls signed up for camp, we just subtract the number of boys from to total number of children. There are 132 boys and 219 children, which gives us

219 - 132 = 87 girls. To find how many boys there are than girls, we just find the difference between the 132 boys and 87 girls by subtracting again:

132 - 87 = 45 more girls than boys.
