1305
and If Susie bought No. 3 pencils, how many would Susie have left at the beginning of March?
In January, she gave out 255 pencils to grades 1-4, 362 pencils to grades 5-8. Im sorry it was 255 pencils instead of 225 pencils. Brand new

Add the numbers 225 + 362 + 478, then subtract that number from 2500
225 + 362 + 478 = 1065
2500 - 1065 = 1435
You must have one of the numbers typed incorrectly because my calculation is correct.
Also, you’re missing some information for the second part of your question. mathgirl826

None of the above, she would have 1435 remaining from the original 2500 pencils. But did Susie hand out any pencils before Jan, and did she buy them in Sept when the school years starts? Needs to give more info on this tricky question………. thom
