There were 120 students that went on a field trip to the aquarium. Some of the students went to the penguin exhibit, while the other 73 went to see the dolphin show. Which equation could be used to find s, the number of students that went to see the penguin exhibit?

Responses
A s – 73 = 120s – 73 = 120
B 73s – 12073 s – 120
C 120s = 73120 s = 73
D 120 – s = 73

A s - 73 = 120

are you sure?

Sorry about that, I made an error in my response. The correct equation that could be used to find s, the number of students that went to see the penguin exhibit is:

s + 73 = 120

Therefore, the correct answer choice is:

A) s - 73 = 120
