Question

Which strategy would not correctly solve this story problem?    Kent had some muffins at his bake sale table. He had twice as many muffins as bagels. He had 10 bagels. Kent sold 5 muffins before lunch and then sold another 6 muffins after lunch. How many muffins did Kent have left?

Answer 1

Since he had twice as many muffins as bagels he would have 20 :
10×2=20

first you need to find how many he sold :
5+6=11

now subtract :
20-11=9

Kent had 9 muffins left


hope this helped

Answer 2

He has 9 left because 10x2=20 so 11-20=9
