To find the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday, we need to subtract the number of bottles recycled on Monday (131) from the total number of bottles collected (376).
m = 376 - 131
m = 245
So, the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday is 245.
To find the number of bottles left to recycle after Tuesday, we need to subtract the number of bottles recycled on Tuesday (114) from the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday (245).
t = 245 - 114
t = 131
So, the number of bottles left to recycle after Tuesday is 131.
To solve this problem, we need to find the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday and Tuesday.
Let's start with Monday.
m represents the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday.
We know that Jenny and Buddy collected 376 plastic bottles for recycling, and they recycled 131 bottles on Monday.
To find the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday, we subtract the number of bottles recycled on Monday from the total number of bottles collected:
m = 376 - 131.
Now let's calculate the value of m:
m = 245.
So, after Monday, there are 245 bottles left to recycle.
Moving on to Tuesday:
t represents the number of bottles left to recycle after Tuesday.
We already know that there were 245 bottles left to recycle after Monday, and Jenny and Buddy recycled 114 bottles on Tuesday.
To find the number of bottles left to recycle after Tuesday, we subtract the number of bottles recycled on Tuesday from the number of bottles left to recycle after Monday:
t = 245 - 114.
Now let's calculate the value of t:
t = 131.
So, after Tuesday, there are 131 bottles left to recycle.
Therefore, the answer to the question is 131 bottles.
