Question

Jilian has 5 pens. She gives 3 pens to Lillian. Alison needs 1 pen. Explain if Jilian should have pens and why?.

Answer 1

Well of course she should have a pen, how else is she going to write? If you're asking how many she would have left if she gave 1 to Alison, she would only have 1, because 5-3=2 (she started with 5 and gave 3 to Lillian). 2-1=1 :)
