Part A:
No, her answer is not reasonable. The number of napkins used in all should be 325 + 113 = 438, so the number of napkins left should be 645 - 438 = 207, not 212.
Part B:
The equations that could be used to find the number of napkins that remain after lunch and dinner are:
1) 325 - 113 = t
2) 645 - 438 = t
3) 645 - 325 = t
A diner has 645 napkins. 325 napkins are used at lunch. 113 napkins are used at dinner.
Melanie says that 325−113=n napkins are used in all, and that 645−212=r napkins are left.
Is her answer reasonable? Explain why or why not.

No, because at least 325 napkins are used. So, 212 is too small a number for n.
No, because at least 325 napkins are used. So, 212 is too small a number for n .
No, because she adds the number of total napkins used to find n.
No, because she adds the number of total napkins used to find n .
No, because she makes an error in her subtraction.

325−113=t
325 - 113 = t
645−438=t
645 - 438 = t
645−325=t
645 - 325 = t
645−212=t
645 - 212 = t
