If 2285 butterflies out of 6687 flew from a tree, how many butterflies are left on the tree?
Given,
Total butterflies on the tree = 6687
Number of butterflies that flew = 2285
So, number of butterflies left on the tree
= Total butterflies on the tree - Number of butterflies that flew
= 6687 – 2285
6 6 8 7
- 2 2 8 5
________
4 4 0 2
________
Therefore, 4,402 butterflies are left on the tree.
