Solution
The correct option is B21 ∙ Initially, Sophie has 32 chocolates. ∙ Sophie gives 11 chocolates to her brother Nick. ∴ Sophie is available with 11 less chocolates of what she initially had.
Chocolates available with Sophie after giving would be obtained by subtracting 11 from 32.
Hence, we need to find the value of 32−11, which is illustrated below.
Hence, Sophie is left with 21 chocolates after giving 11 chocolates to her brother Nick, i.e., option (b.) is the correct answer.
