How many flyers did Blake start with?
A. Add 50 + 26 + 32. Then add 14 to that sum.
B. Subtract 26 from 50. Then subtract 14 from the difference.
C. Subtract 14 from 50. Then add 26 to the difference.
D. Add 50 + 26 + 32. Then subtract 14 from that sum.
14 + 50 + 26 + 32

so the answer is B
To solve this story problem and determine the number of flyers Blake started with, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Add the number of flyers Blake put on blue cars, white cars, and silver cars together.
In this case, we add 50 + 26 + 32.
Step 2: Determine the sum mentioned in Step 1.
This gives us the total number of flyers Blake placed on cars.
Step 3: Add the number of blown away flyers (mentioned in the story problem) to the sum from Step 2.
In this case, we add 14 to the total number of flyers Blake placed on cars.
Step 4: The final result is the total number of flyers Blake started with.
Now, let's go through the provided answer options to find the correct steps:
A. Add 50 + 26 + 32. Then add 14 to that sum.
This option follows the correct steps mentioned above and provides the correct answer.
B. Subtract 26 from 50. Then subtract 14 from the difference.
This option involves subtraction rather than addition, so it doesn't follow the correct steps to solve the problem.
C. Subtract 14 from 50. Then add 26 to the difference.
Similar to option B, this involves subtraction instead of addition, so it doesn't follow the correct steps to solve the problem.
D. Add 50 + 26 + 32. Then subtract 14 from that sum.
This option switches the order of addition and subtraction, so it doesn't follow the correct steps to solve the problem.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Add 50 + 26 + 32. Then add 14 to that sum.
