Eric had c coins in a jar, and he placed 36 more coins in the jar. Translate the words into an expression.
Notice the word “more” . We need to add, therefore, the expression is c + 36.
Before adding coins, Eric had 247 coins in the jar. If he added 36 coins, what is the total number of coins that Eric had in the jar
To find the total number of coins, we need to add the number of coins Eric had before adding more coins (247) and the number of coins he added (36).
Total number of coins = 247 + 36
Total number of coins = 283
