Question

Charlie bought 16 cartons of ice cream and 7 cartons of yogurt. Each carton of ice cream cost $6 and each carton of yogurt cost $1. How much more did Charlie spend on ice cream than on yogurt?

Answer 1

$89 because 16 x 6 = $96 and 7 x 1 = $7.     96 - 7 = $89.

Answer 2

Charlie spent $89 more dollars on ice cream than on yogurt. He spent a total of $96 on ice cream and $7 on yogurt. If you subtract 7 from 96 you get 89. 
$96- $7= $89
