Question

If one class collected 65 cans for the food drive and another class collected 176 cans, how many cans did the two classes collect for the drive?
Which of the following equations correctly represents this situation?


c + 65 = 176


176 − c = 65


176 − 65 = c


65 + 176 = c


c − 176 = 65

Answer 1

In this equation C means the total. In order to find the total you must add the two class together to get the total. The equation that represents this would be the fourth one. 65 + 176 = C

Answer 2

The answer is going to be the fourth one because you just need to add those two up.
