Question

Mr. Torres built a new house. He spent 250,000 pesos for the materials and 137,000 pesos for the labor. If he had only 330,000 pesos, how much more money he had to loan? Equation: ______________________

Answer 1

250,000+137,000=387,000<br />387,000-330,000=57,000 pesos

Answer 2

250000+137000=387000
387000>330000
So,
387000-330000=57000. He had to take a loan of 57,000
