Question

Al bought 24 stickers. He gave away 11 stickers. Then he bought 8 more stickers.

Answer 1

24-11+8

He BOUGHT 24 stickers, so you'd write 24. Then because he GAVE AWAY 11 stickers, you would subtract 11 from 24, which is 24-11. Then because Al BOUGHT 8 stickers you'd add the 8 to the 24-11 to get 24-11+8.


(Bought means to add and Gave away is subtracting)
