there are54 bottle caps in a box.Nicole has 8 bottle caps in a bag.Marvin takes 8 bottle caps out of the box.How many bottle caps are left in the box?
We don't know whether Nicole's bottle caps were originally in the box. So we'll just subtract Marvin's 8 bottle caps from 54.
54 - 8 = 46
Thanks. Ms.Sue and God bless you
You're welcome, Ezekiel.
To find out how many bottle caps are left in the box after Marvin takes 8 bottle caps out, you need to subtract the number of bottle caps Marvin took from the total number of bottle caps in the box.
Given:
Total number of bottle caps in the box = 54
Number of bottle caps Marvin took = 8
To get the answer, you can use the formula:
Total bottle caps in the box - Number of bottle caps Marvin took = Number of bottle caps left in the box
Substituting the given values into the formula:
54 - 8 = 46
Therefore, there are 46 bottle caps left in the box after Marvin takes 8 of them.
