Answer 2

Info that we already know:
1. there are 12 boxes of canned food and in each of the boxes, there are 24 cans.
2. three of the twelve boxes have canned peas
3. remaining nine boxes have canned corns

let's work with info #1
12 boxes x 24 cans = 288 cans

info #2
3 boxes x 24 cans = 72 cans of canned peas

info #3
9 boxes x 24 cans = 216 cans of canned corns <-- you need this answer

Answer 3

a total of 288 cans - the number canned peas = total of canned corns (since that's the remaining amount)

Answer 4

understand?

Answer 5

Ya Thanks

Answer 6

so which one will that be? (which answer choice?)

Answer 7

i don't think so..

remember you find the total and then subtract from that the # of canned peas to get the number of canned corns

Answer 8

look at option D.

1) find the total cans -- 12 boxes x 24 cans = 288 cans total
2) find the number of canned peas -- 3 boxes x 24 cans = 72 cans
3) subtract the number of canned peas from the total cans -- 288 cans total - 72 cans =

Answer 9
