Question

Snowball has 75 cartoon stickers, Mr. Albie takes away some of them. Now, Snowball is left with 35 stickers. How many stickers does Mr. Albie take away?

Answer 1

Number of cartoon stickers with Snowball = 75
Number of cartoon stickers left with Snowball after Mr. Albie takes away some = 35
35 = 3 Tens and 5 Ones
Number of cartoon stickers Mr. Albie takes away = 75 − 35
We count backward by using the number line to find the answer.


Therefore, Mr. Albie takes away 40 stickers from Snowball.
