There were 35 fewer passengers on Bus Y than Bus X. 45 passengers moved from Bus X to Bus Y. How many more passengers were there in Bus Y than Bus X in the end?

Hi

The answer is 55.

A neat way is to use MD.

Another way is to plug in some numbers.

Start with bus X having 85 passengers and bus Y having 50 passengers.

Now move 45 passengers from bus X to bus Y.

We have 40 passengers in bus X and 95 passengers in bus Y.

This gives us a difference of 55 passengers.

If you need the MD, please let me know, I'll do it later.

Best wishes

Tks

[PapayaDad]

B-72+94=250

B=250+72-94=228

[Betty baked some cookies]…at first
[Betty give 72][seventy.two]…give 72
[Betty give 72][seventy.two][22]…bake 72+22 (bake 94)
<---------250---------->…left 252
[—156----][seventy.two]…250-22-72=156
[Betty baked some cookies]…at first there are 156 + 72 = 228

2 player = 1 match
3 player = 3 match (2+1)
4 player = 6 match (3+2+1)
5 player = 10 match (4+3+2+1)
6 player = 15 match (5+4+3+2+1)
7 player = 21 match (6+5+4+3+2+1)
8 player = 28 match (7+6+5+4+3+2+1)
