-6 - ( -2 ) and 2 + ( -6 ) would both give you -4.
There has to be more to the problem but if not then add them both together 35+37=72
The number of Grade 6 students were asked in total is 100 students.
<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>
Let the number of students who choose Natural History be x.
Since the number of students who chose the Museum of Math was 50 more than the number of students who chose the Museum of Natural History. This will be x + 50
The ratio of students who chose the Museum of Math to students who chose the Museum of Natural History was 3 to 1. The expression will be illustrated thus:
1/3 = x/x+50
Cross multiply
3x = x + 50
Collect like terms
3x - x = 50.
2x = 50
Divide
x = 50/2
x = 25
Also, x + 50 = 25 + 50 = 75
The number of Grade 6 students that were asked will be:
= 25 + 75
= 100

Answer:
He brought 3 dozen cookies
She ate
of the bag of Doritos
She read 25 books
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ Mike makes 4 dozen cookies
∵ He brings 75% of them for a party at his school
- Multiply 75% by 4
∵ 75% =
∴ He brought =
× 4
∴ He brought = 3
He brought 3 dozen cookies
∵ Sam bought a bag of Doritos
∵ She ate only 40% of them
∵ 40% = 
∴ She ate =
× 1
∴ She ate = 
She ate
of the bag of Doritos
∵ Jamie took 50 books from the library
∵ She only read half of her whole stack
- Multiply half by 50
∴ She read =
× 50
∴ She read = 25
She read 25 books
I think the value of x is 15
