Question

Mary has 24 apples ,joshua has 156 more.If john takes all the apples and gives 8 how many will remain

Answer 1

To find out how many apples will remain after John takes all of them and gives 8 away, we first need to determine how many apples Joshua has.

Mary has 24 apples, and Joshua has 156 more than Mary:

\[
\text{Joshua's apples} = 24 + 156 = 180
\]

Now, we add the apples of both Mary and Joshua:

\[
\text{Total apples} = 24 + 180 = 204
\]

If John takes all the apples (204 apples) and then gives away 8 apples, we subtract 8 from the total:

\[
\text{Remaining apples} = 204 - 8 = 196
\]

So, the number of apples that will remain is **196**.
