Mrs. Kumar bought 27 apples.
She bought 15 more oranges.
How many oranges did she buy?
27 + 15 = ?
Thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
Apples and oranges?
Or apples OR oranges?
Hi Writeacher, it's APPLES OR ORANGES. I think the word problem in the book is not clear or incomplete.
To find out how many oranges Mrs. Kumar bought, we need to first determine the total number of fruits she bought. Then, we can subtract the number of apples from the total to find the number of oranges.
Mrs. Kumar bought 27 apples. Adding 15 more oranges to that, the total number of fruits she bought can be calculated by adding 27 (apples) and 15 (oranges):
27 apples + 15 oranges = 42 fruits
Now that we know the total number of fruits (42), we can find the number of oranges by subtracting the number of apples (27) from the total:
42 fruits - 27 apples = 15 oranges
Therefore, Mrs. Kumar bought 15 oranges.
