Question 1147892: There are 54 people remaining after 37 left a dance. Write and solve an equation to find the number of people who were orginally at the dance. Answer by ikleyn(52776) (Show Source):
54 + 37 = 91 persons were there originally at the dance.
Why do you need an equation when the problem can be solved immediately using one arithmetic operation, addition ?
