Answers
In all the questions given, we need to simply subtract the given values.
Total people in the stadium = 664
Boys in the stadium = 338
Girls in the stadium = ?
Girls in the stadium =
664 - 338
326
There are 326 girls in the stadium.
Total pages in the story book = 956
Pages with pictures = 264
Pages without pictures = ?
Pages without pictures =
956 - 264
692
There are 692 pictures in the book without pictures.
Total flowers with the flower seller = 848
He sold = 659
Flowers left with him = ?
Flowers left =
848 - 659
189
The flowers left with him are 189.
Total passengers in the train = 796
Passengers got down from the train = 287
Passengers left in the train = ?
Passengers left =
796 - 287
509
The passengers left are 509.
2) Solution :
Given :
Total people in Stadium = 664
Boys in the stadium = 338
Number of girls = ?
we should subtract the number of boys from the total people to find number of girls.
664 - 338 = 326
Therefore, there are 326 girls in stadium.
3) Solution :
Given :
Number of pages in a book = 956
Pages with pictures = 264
Pages without pictures = ?
We the same here. Just subtract the pages with pictures and total pages.
956 - 264 = 692
Therefore, there are 692 pages without pictures.
4) Solution :
Given :
Total number of flowers with seller = 848
Number of flowers he sold = 659
Remaining number of flowers = ?
Subtract the total flowers with the number of sold flowers.
848 - 659 = 189
Therefore, there are 189 flowers remaining.
5) Solution :
Given :
Total number of passengers in train = 796
Number of passengers got down = 287
Remaining passengers = ?
Subtract the total number of passengers with number of passengers got down.
796 - 287 = 509
Therefore, there are 509 passengers left in train.
