Destiny looked up coconuts in the encyclopedia, and she found a two-paragraph entry. The first paragraph had 167 words. The second paragraph had 68 more words than the first one. How many words were in the whole encyclopedia entry?

Answer 1

To find the total number of words in the encyclopedia entry about coconuts, we first determine the number of words in the second paragraph.

1. The first paragraph has 167 words.
2. The second paragraph has 68 more words than the first paragraph:

\[ 167 + 68 = 235 \]

So, the second paragraph has 235 words.

3. Now, we add the number of words in both paragraphs to get the total:

\[ 167 + 235 = 402 \]

Therefore, the whole encyclopedia entry has 402 words.
