      Did you manage every question? You can always do the things you weren’t able to complete at school, especially some of the later questions.

    1)
    a. 38 + 6 = 44 so Eva read 44 pages on Tuesday.
    b. 38 + 44 = 82 Eva read 82 pages on Monday and Tuesday.
    c. 123 – 82 = 41 Eva needs to read 41 more pages.

    2)
    a. the difference would be 2,900 – 800 = 2,100 would be on the other card.

    3)
    a. 349 + 199 + 479 = 1027 so he doesn’t have enough money to bye the phone but he does have enough money to bye a TV and a console.

    4)
    a. The Websters have the most money left, while the Changs have not a lot left but still a lot.
    b. The changs have £795 left and the Websters have £735 left.

    5)
    a. There are 6550 children so there are 250 more adults than children.

    6)
    a. Jack has 500,Whitney has 250 and Amir has 150 .

    7)
    a. the two numbers could be 600 + 600 = 1200, and 3242 + 3242 = 6484.

    8)
    do not understand number 8

      Hello Brooke.

      Question 1 – great!

      Question 2 – you are absolutely right that 2,100 would be on the other card BUT read the question really carefully! You need to use the two cards to find something out.

      Question 3 – well done!

      Question 4 – Yes, the Websters do have the most left. Question 4b asks how much – use the information you have to work this out.

      Question 5 is wrong but I think it’s a typing error – double check!

      Question 6 is great but check 7.

      For question 8, could you work out the total of the two missing numbers. You know that the total is 10,000 and that one number is 2,560.

      Well done on a great effort!
