Question

At the start of the day, your taco truck’s napkin dispenser is fully stocked with 600 napkins. By the end of the afternoon, customers have used 275 napkins, so you decide to add 150 more before the dinner rush.

The expression 600 – 275 represents the number of napkins left in the dispenser at the end of the afternoon.

Which expression represents the new total after you add 150 more napkins?
Question 9 options:

600 – 275 + 150

600 + 275 – 150

600 + 275 + 150

600 – (275 + 150)

Answer 1

600 − 275 + 150

Explanation: You start with 600, subtract 275 used, then add 150. That equals 600 − 275 + 150 = 325 + 150 = 475 napkins.
