Examples with solutions for Addition: Operations in stages

Exercise #1

Maya has 20 bracelets and Rachel has 17 bracelets. They decide to collectively give 7 bracelets to their friend Danielle. How many do they have left?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the total number of bracelets they start with.
  • Step 2: Subtract the number of bracelets given away.

Now, let's work through these steps:

Step 1: Initially, Maya has 20 bracelets and Rachel has 17 bracelets.
We add these two numbers to find the total number of bracelets they have together:

20+17=37 20 + 17 = 37

Step 2: They decide to give 7 bracelets to Danielle.
To find out how many bracelets they have left, we subtract the number of bracelets given to Danielle from the initial total:

377=30 37 - 7 = 30

Therefore, Maya and Rachel together have 30\mathbf{30} bracelets remaining after giving away 7 bracelets to Danielle.

Answer

30 30

Exercise #2

Maya has 20 bracelets and Rachel has 17 bracelets. They decide to give some of their bracelets to their friend Danielle. If they still have 30 bracelets collectively, how many bracelets did they give to Danielle?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the original number of bracelets that Maya and Rachel have together. Maya has 20 bracelets, and Rachel has 17, so initially, they have 20+17=37 20 + 17 = 37 bracelets.
  • Step 2: Determine how many bracelets they have after giving some to Danielle. Together, they now have 30 bracelets.
  • Step 3: Calculate the number of bracelets given to Danielle by finding the difference between the original total and the current total. This is given by 3730 37 - 30 .

Now, let's compute:

Initially, Maya and Rachel collectively had 37 37 bracelets. After giving some to Danielle, they have 30 30 bracelets. Therefore, the number of bracelets they gave to Danielle is 3730=7 37 - 30 = 7 .

The correct answer is 7\mathbf{7} bracelets.

Thus, the correct choice from the provided options is Choice 4: 7 7 .

Answer

7 7

Exercise #3

Jonathan has 15 pencils and Daniel has 17 pencils.

They decide to give 2 pencils each to their friend Betty.

How many pencils do Jonathan and Daniel have left altogether?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll address each part step-by-step and verify at each stage:

  • Step 1: Determine how many pencils Jonathan has after giving away pencils.
  • Step 2: Determine how many pencils Daniel has after giving away pencils.
  • Step 3: Add the remaining pencils of Jonathan and Daniel to find out how many they collectively have left.

Let's proceed through the steps:

Step 1: Jonathan has 15 pencils originally. He gives 2 pencils to Betty. Therefore, his remaining number of pencils is: 152=13 15 - 2 = 13

Step 2: Daniel has 17 pencils originally. He gives 2 pencils to Betty. Therefore, his remaining number of pencils is: 172=15 17 - 2 = 15

Step 3: To find the total number of pencils Jonathan and Daniel have left, we add their remaining pencils together: 13+15=28 13 + 15 = 28

Therefore, Jonathan and Daniel have altogether 28 28 pencils left.
