Tony bought a box with both chocolate and maple donuts. There were 10 fewer maple donuts than chocolate donuts, and there were 16 donuts in all. How many maple donuts did Tony buy?
That doesn't seem right. Why 3 donuts if there were 16? I'm confused-
And your way of showing that is way to hard for me to understand lol

x + x - 10 = 16
x = 13 chocolate donuts
So, 16 - 13 = 10.
There are 3 maple donuts
Has anyone else noticed that the non-subjects in the subject box are written by kids asking math questions?
Help now <-- not a school subject
Pls help thank u <-- not a school subject
and on and on
What's so hard about typing "Math" in the subject box?
Well, there are 16 donuts. Maple donuts are 10 less. 16 - 10 = _
The wording is usually what throws people off. Just break it down into super small steps and see what they're actually saying.
Difference
11 - 1 = 10
12 - 2 = 10
13 - 3 = 10 ---
14 - 4 = 10
15 - 5 = 10
16 - 6 = 10
Sum
11 + 1 = 12
12 + 2 = 14
13 + 3 = 16 ---
14 + 4 = 18
15 + 5 = 20
16 + 6 = 22
