I'm between 70 and 80. I have 2 more tens than ones. what number am i?

Question

7 yr. Old math homework question

Answer 1

The answer is 75.

 

The answer must be in the 70's therefore you will have a 7 in the tens place. 7-2=5 and therefore, you will need a 5 in the ones place. Thus, the answer is 75.

 

You have 7 tens and 5 ones. Therefore, you have 2 more tens than you have ones (7-5=2)
