Maggie and her parents are shopping for a new car. They are deciding between an orange car that costs $41,786 and a white car that costs $29,810. How much more does the orange car cost?

Answer 1

To find out how much more the orange car costs than the white car, subtract the cost of the white car from the cost of the orange car:

\[ \text{Cost of orange car} - \text{Cost of white car} = 41,786 - 29,810 \]

Now, performing the subtraction:

\[ 41,786 - 29,810 = 11,976 \]

Thus, the orange car costs $11,976 more than the white car.
