Question

Ria has 4,760 ounces of sugar. She uses 200 ounces for a cake and 150 ounces for sweets.
Now she is left with ounces of sugar.

• A. 4,220
• B. 4,410
• C. 4,350
• D. 4,160

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4,410

$\text{Total amount of sugar with Ria}$ $\text{= 4,760 ounces}$

$\text{Sugar used for cake = 200 ounces}$
$\text{Sugar used for sweets = 150 ounces}$

$\text{Total amount of sugar used}$ $\text{= 200 oz + 150 oz = 350 oz}$


To calculate the amount of sugar left after being used for the cake and the sweets, we will subtract the amount of sugar used from the total amount of sugar available in the beginning.


$\text{Hence, 4,410 oz of the sugar is left.}$
