Question

37,650 cookies are purchased for distribution on Children's Day. If 28,820 cookies are distributed, how many cookies are left?

• A. 8,830
• B. 9,830
• C. 8,830
• D. 8,230

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8,830

Number of cookies purchased = 37,650

Number of cookies distributed
= 28,820

Number of cookies left = Total number of cookies purchased - Number of cookies distributed

= 37,650 - 28,820

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Vertical subtraction is a method of subtracting where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the total number of cookies left is 8,830.
