Question
Jacob is selling raffle tickets for a school fundraiser. He started with 60 tickets. He sold 16 tickets on the first day and 14 tickets on the second day.
Which expression below will help Jacob determine how many tickets he has left to sell?
Responses
A 60 + 16 + 1460 + 16 + 14
B 14 + 16 − 6014 + 16 − 60
C 60 − 14 + 1660 − 14 + 16
D 60 − 16 − 14
The correct expression to determine how many tickets Jacob has left to sell is:
D) 60 - 16 - 14
This expression represents the initial number of tickets Jacob had (60) minus the number of tickets he sold on the first day (16) and the number of tickets he sold on the second day (14).
The correct expression that will help Jacob determine how many tickets he has left to sell is:
D) 60 - 16 - 14
This expression represents the initial number of tickets (60) minus the number of tickets sold on the first day (16) and the number of tickets sold on the second day (14). By subtracting the tickets sold from the initial number, Jacob will be able to determine how many tickets he has left to sell.
To determine how many tickets Jacob has left to sell, we need to subtract the number of tickets he has already sold from the total number of tickets he started with.
Jacob started with 60 tickets and sold 16 tickets on the first day, so we subtract 16 from 60: 60 - 16 = 44.
He also sold 14 tickets on the second day, so we need to subtract another 14 from the remaining tickets: 44 - 14 = 30.
Therefore, the expression that helps Jacob determine how many tickets he has left to sell is: 60 - 16 - 14.
So the correct option is D: 60 - 16 - 14.
