Question

Sam hit 28 more golf balls than John.Sam hit 56 golf balls. How many golf balls did John hit?

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of golf balls John hit as J. According to the given information, we know that Sam hit 28 more golf balls than John, so we can represent the number of golf balls Sam hit as J + 28.

We are also given that Sam hit 56 golf balls. Therefore, we can write the equation:

J + 28 = 56

Subtracting 28 from both sides of the equation gives:

J = 56 - 28
J = 28

Therefore, John hit 28 golf balls.
