Question

At the beginning of the year, mrs. Wilkinson's class had 22 packages of colored paper. So far, the class has used 677 pieces of colored paper. If each package of colored paper contained 75 pieces, how many pieces of colored paper does the class have left.

Answer 1

Total pieces of colored paper at the beginning of the year = 22 packages x 75 pieces/package = 1650 pieces of paper

 

pieces of paper left = total pieces at beginning of year- total peices used

                           = 1650-677

                           = 973 pieces of paper left
