Question

Jeremy’s dad is making cupcakes for his birthday. He needs 50 cupcakes in all. So far he made 13 chocolate cupcakes and 15 vanilla cupcakes. How many more cupcakes must he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

22 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find how many cupcakes he has already made.

He made 13 chocolate and 15 vanilla. If we add them together, we can find how many he has made total.

13+15=28

So far, he has 28 cupcakes.

He needs 50 cupcakes, and he has already made 28. The difference of the two numbers will be how many he must still make.

Subtract 28 from 50

50-28=22

So, he still has to make 22 cupcakes

Answer 2

Answer:

22 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

13+15=28

50-28=22
