I get that feeling I oversimplified this one, let me know if I did. I'm not sure if this is right.

Answer 2

Answer:

63 kids

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are some kids who went home sick, some went hiking and some went swimming.

The total number of kids that started the day at Camp Sunshine can be found by adding the number who went home sick, went hiking and went swimming.

sick + hiking + swimming

4 went home sick, 18 went hiking and 41 went swimming.

4+ 18 + 41

Add the numbers together

22+ 41

63

63 kids started the day at Camp Sunshine.
