Question
Hugo needs 43 cupcakes for a birthday party. He already has 16 chocolate cupcakes and 10 vanilla cupcakes. How many more cupcakes should Hugo buy?
Solution
First, let's find out how many cupcakes Hugo already has. He has 16 chocolate cupcakes and 10 vanilla cupcakes.
16 (chocolate cupcakes) + 10 (vanilla cupcakes) = 26 cupcakes
Hugo needs 43 cupcakes in total. Now, let's subtract the number of cupcakes Hugo already has from the total number he needs.
43 (total cupcakes needed) - 26 (cupcakes already has) = 17 cupcakes
So, Hugo should buy 17 more cupcakes.
