jdoe0001 · Answer

jimmy has to write 2500 words
he has 710 already

he has some remaining to do, to be exact 2500 - 710   left over
he wants to do those over the span of 5 days

so divided evenly then $\bf \cfrac{2500-710}{5}$

how about this one

anonymous · Answer

Workers Inc. just bought 12 boxes of pens to put in their storage room for employees to use as needed. Each box contains 25 pens. If each of the 33 employees working for Workers Inc. takes 3 pens when they are first brought into the office, how many pens will be left in the storage room?

    297
    201
    267
    321

jdoe0001 · Answer

is 12 boxes
each box has 25 pens
total of pens is 12 * 25

there are 33 employees
each takes 3 pens
total pens taken 33 * 3

total pens left over

total pens - total taken
(12*25) - ( 33 * 3)
