Question

There were 21 students in Travis's fourth-grade class at the end of the year. During the year four new students joined his class, and two moved away. One student was transferred to another fourth-grade teacher. How many students were there in the beginning of the year?

Answer 1

So there were 21 students from the start then 4 new people joined so 21 plus 4 equals 25 . 25 minus 2 equals 23 23 minus 1 equals 22

Answer 2

You start with 21 then add 2 as 2 moved away 21+2=23 1 student was transferred add that on 23+1=24 At the begging of the year there were 24 students.
