This year, 432 middle school students ordered a yearbook. So far, 398
yearbooks have been distributed.
Which of the following will help find how many more students still
need a yearbook?
x +398 = 432; x = 36
X + 398 = 432; x = 34
2 – 398 = 432; x = 830
2 – 398 = 432; x = 34
This answer is reasonable because it shows that 398 + x (the amount that still has to be distributed) equal the total amount of middle school students who ordered a year book.
