• A. 168
• B. 46
• C. 146
• D. 68

Answer 1

The correct option is C 146

Given, Stacy has 503 candies in the first jar and 211 candies in the second jar.
A certain number of candies needs to be removed from the first jar and added to the second jar such that each jar contains 357 candies.

So, the number of candies that needs to be removed from the first jar = 503 - 357


503 - 357 = 146

The number of candies that needs to be added to the second jar = 357 - 211


357 - 211 = 146

So, 146 candies need to be removed from the first jar and added to the second jar.
