- 8. Multiple ChoiceConsider the following example: Problem: Cassidy has 15 tokens. Sierra has 10 tokens. Cassidy gives Sierra 2 tokens. How many more tokens does Cassidy have than Sierra?
Solution:
Cassidy's tokens: 15
Subtract 2 tokens from Cassidy's total tokens:
15– 2 = 13
Sierra's tokens: 10
Add 2 tokens to Sierra’s tokens:
10 + 2 = 12
Subtract Cassidy’s total tokens from Sierra’s total tokens:
13 – 12 =1
