Takehiko brought grapes to school. He gave 15 of his grapes to his friends. If he is left with 45 grapes, how many did he bring to school?

Question

3
15
30
60

Answer 1

Let \( x \) be the number of grapes Takehiko brought to school. According to the problem, he gave away 15 grapes and is left with 45 grapes. We can express this with the following equation:

\[ x - 15 = 45 \]

To find \( x \), we can add 15 to both sides of the equation:

\[ x = 45 + 15 \] \[ x = 60 \]

Takehiko brought 60 grapes to school.

So the answer is \( \boxed{60} \).
