Question

Taylor runs a fruit store. She started Tuesday with 10 pears in stock. During the day, she sold 8 pears and got a shipment of fresh pears. The shipment contained 5 times as many pears as she started the day with. How many pears does Taylor have in stock at the end of the day?

Answer 1

52 pears !!
10 pears and she sold 8..
10-8=2

she started with 10, so we multiply that by 5..
5 x 10 = 50

we add how many she had (2) to the ant she got in her shipment (50) to get our tots of 53 pears!
50 + 2 = 52

hope this helped <3
