Question

Marty Monster has 382 pieces of candy for trick-or-treaters. He had 147 children come to his door. Her neighbor, Pirate Pete, had 165 trick-or-treaters. How many more trick-or-treaters does Pete have than Marty?

Answer 1

To find out how many more trick-or-treaters Pirate Pete had than Marty Monster, we can subtract the number of trick-or-treaters that Marty had from the number that Pirate Pete had.

Marty had 147 trick-or-treaters, and Pirate Pete had 165 trick-or-treaters.

So, we can calculate:

\[
165 - 147 = 18
\]

Pirate Pete had **18 more** trick-or-treaters than Marty Monster.
