• An art teacher had 57 grams of blue clay. She combined it with 31 grams of yellow clay to make green clay. Lets students use the green clay during the week. At the end of the week, the remaining green clay weighed 18 grams. Estimate how many grams of green clay used during the week.

$\huge{\red {\mathfrak{Solution :-}}}$

$\underline{\bold {Given:}}$

• Quantity of blue clay = 57 grams
• Quantity of yellow clay = 31 grams
• Quantity of remaining green clay =18 grams

$\underline{\bold {To\:Find:}}$

• Quantity of green clay used during the week

$\bf{Combining\: of\: blue\: clay\: and \:yellow}\\ {\bf {clay\: to\: make\: green\: clay\: means \:we\: add}} \\{\bf {Quantity\: of \:blue\: clay \:and \:Quantity}}\\{\bf {of\:yellow \:clay.}}$

$\hookrightarrow{\sf{Quantity \:of \: green \: clay = (57 + 31)\:grams = 88 \: grams}}$

$\longrightarrow {\sf {Quantity \: of green \: clay \: used \: during \: the \: week = (88 - 18) \: grams}} \\ \\ \longrightarrow {\sf {Quantity \: of green \: clay \: used \: during \: the \: week = 70 \: grams}}$

$\green {\tt {\therefore{Quantity \: of green \: clay \: used \: during \: the \: week = 70 \: grams.}}}$
