Answer:

21 more mugs were brought this year than last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by subtracting the initial amount of mugs from the final amount of mugs.

To find the amount of mugs hung up this year, we will use the equation: m = 12w where m = the number of mugs & w = the number of wooden hangers. The 12 represents the amount of mugs per wooden hanger.

We can plug in 3 for w since 3 wooden hangers were filled up and we would get 12(3) = m = 36 mugs

Now we subtract last year's total mugs hung up from this year's total mugs hung up.

We end up with 36 - 15 = 21

x-17-20=180

gather common terms

x-37=180

move 37 to other side

x=180+37

addition

x=217
