Calculate Remaining Flowers: 13 Bushes × 5 Flowers + 9 Plants × 2 Flowers - 40 Picked

Question

There are several types of flowers in a field.

5 flowers grow on one bush and there are are 13 such bushes.

Another area has 9 plants, each of which has 2 flowers.

The flower pickers took 30 flowers from the bushes and 10 from the plants.

How many flowers are left in the field?

Step-by-Step Solution

We will convert the question into an exercise with which we are familiar:

(5×13−30)+(9×2−10) \left(5\times 13-30\right)+\left(9\times 2-10\right)

First, we will solve everything that is in the parentheses, starting with the multiplication and division from left to right:

(65−30)+(18−10) \left(65-30\right)+\left(18-10\right)

Then the addition and subtraction operations that are in the parentheses:

35+8 35+8

Finally, we perform the operations outside of the parentheses:

35+8=43 35+8=43

Answer

43
