1. **Problem:** The vice principal sharpened 341 pencils on Monday and 375 on Tuesday. How many more pencils does she have to sharpen if the total is 716? 2. **Formula:** Total pencils to sharpen = Monday + Tuesday + Remaining 3. **Calculation:** $$341 + 375 = 716 - \text{Remaining}$$ 4. Simplify the left side: $$341 + 375 = 716$$ $$716 = 716 - \text{Remaining}$$ 5. Subtract 716 from both sides: $$\cancel{716} - 716 = \cancel{716} - 716 - \text{Remaining}$$ $$0 = - \text{Remaining}$$ 6. Multiply both sides by -1: $$0 = \text{Remaining}$$ 7. **Answer:** She has 0 pencils left to sharpen, so the question likely asks how many more pencils she sharpened on Tuesday than Monday: $$375 - 341 = 34$$ Since 34 is not an option, the question might be about total pencils sharpened or a different interpretation. --- **Second problem:** Travis has 500 in his lunch account. He spent 26 in September and 37 in October. How much is left? 1. **Formula:** Remaining = Initial - (Spent in September + Spent in October) 2. Calculate total spent: $$26 + 37 = 63$$ 3. Calculate remaining: $$500 - 63 = 437$$ 4. The equation that best solves for remaining money $x$ is: $$x = 500 - 26 - 37$$ Among options, option c: $$500 - 57 = x$$ is closest but 57 is incorrect total spent. Option d: $$26 + 37 + x = 500$$ correctly represents the total. --- **Third problem:** Megan bought 4 boxes of strawberries with 12 each. One box dropped and 4 strawberries were squished. How many strawberries remain? 1. Total strawberries: $$4 \times 12 = 48$$ 2. Subtract squished strawberries: $$48 - 4 = 44$$ 3. **Answer:** 44 strawberries remain. --- **Fourth problem:** There are 5 groups with 4 kids each and 1 group with 6 kids. Find total kids $K$. 1. Calculate total kids in 5 groups: $$5 \times 4 = 20$$ 2. Add the 6 kids: $$20 + 6 = 26$$ 3. Equation: $$(5 \times 4) + 6 = K$$ --- **Fifth problem:** Total weight of vegetables is 325 grams. Carrots weigh 120 grams, zucchini 97 grams, broccoli weight is $W$. 1. Formula: $$W + 120 + 97 = 325$$ 2. Simplify: $$W + 217 = 325$$ 3. Subtract 217 from both sides: $$\cancel{W + 217} - 217 = 325 - 217$$ $$W = 108$$ 4. **Answer:** Broccoli weighs 108 grams. --- **Final answers:** 1. No pencils left to sharpen or difference 34 (not in options) 2. Equation d 3. 44 strawberries 4. Equation a 5. 108 grams
