Question

A package of bacon holds 15 strips of bacon. The pancake house uses 17 packages of bacon in the morning and 21 packages in the afternoon. How many more strips were used in the afternoon than the morning?

Answer 1

Answer:

60 more strips were used in the afternoon

Bacon used in the morning

17 packages * 15 strips/ package = 255 strips

Bacon used in the afternoon

21 packages * 15 strips/package = 315

60 more were used in the afternoon
