Question

A supermarket had $75$ white chocolates and $116$ dark chocolates. $92$ chocolates were purchased by the customers. How many chocolates were left at the supermarket?

• A. $79$
• B. $77$
• C. $97$
• D. $99$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $99$

• To find the total number of chocolates, we add $116$ and $75$.
• Let us visually represent the values using part-part-whole model.

• We add $116$ and $75$ using the vertical method.

• There are a total of $191$ chocolates in the supermarket.

To find the number of chocolates remaining in the supermarket, we subtract $92$ from $191$.

• Let “d” represent the number of chocolates remaining in the supermarket.

Hence, $191-92=d$

• We subtract $92$ from $191$ using the vertical method.

• $99$ chocolates were left in the supermarket.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
