Question

There are two boxes of sweets treats. Identify the box that has more sweet treats.
Box 1: 7 donuts, 3 cupcakes, and 5 muffins
Box 2: 5 donuts, 7 cupcakes, and 3 muffins

• A. Box 2
• B. Box 1
• C. Both the boxes have the same number of sweet treats.
• D. Both the boxes have a different number of sweet treats.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the boxes have the same number of sweet treats.

Total number of sweet treats in Box 1: $(7+3)+5=10+5=15$
Total number of sweet treats in Box 2: $(5+7)+3=12+3=15$

Here, the same numbers are added, but in different orders.

Hence, we can conclude that both the boxes have the same number of sweet treats.
