How do we find how many points did Ben score in the

second round?

• 129 + 236

• 129 – 236

• 236 - 129

Answer explanation

Feedback: We subtract 129 from 236 to find Ben’s score in the second round.

Equation: 236 – 129 = 107

How do we find how many more points did Ben score in the first round than the second round?

• 129 + 107

• 107 – 129

• 129 – 107

• 129 + 236

• 107 + 236

Answer explanation

Feedback: To find how many more points did Ben score in the first round than the second round, we subtract the second round score from the first round score.

So, subtract 107 from 129.

Equation: 129 – 107 = 22
