Question

how do you solve this 200 are in a race 20 drop out 16 take a break 40 were added how many people areni the race now

Answer 1

200-20+40

The 16 isn’t in the equation because they are coming back.

So your answer is 220.

Answer 2

Hey You! Let's break this down step by step:


You have 200 people in a race, and 20 drop out. Meaning, you must subtract:

200 - 20 = 180


Next, 16 take a break, so you must subtract again:

180 - 16 = 164


Finally, 40 people are added back, so, you must add:

164 + 40 = 204

And that's how you will get your answer! ^
