Question

) Sara wanted different color plates for her birthday. Sara bought 4 boxes with 14 orange plates in each box, 5 boxes with 12 silver plates in each box, and some g_____old plates. In total, Sara bought 348 plates, so how many gold plates did she get?

Answer 1

Answer: 232 gold plates

Explanation:

Since Sara bought 4 boxes with 14 orange plates in each box, the total number of orange plates would be:

= 4 × 14

= 56 orange plates

Since there are 5 boxes with 12 silver plates in each box. The total number of silver plates would be:

= 5 × 12

= 60 silver plates

Since the remaining are good plates and she bought 348 plates in total, the number of gold plates would be:

= 348 - (56 + 60)

= 348 - 116

= 232 gold plates
