Jenna collected 57 seashells on her walk. Her friend Adam couldn't carry as many seashells in his pail, so he collected 16 fewer seashells than Jenna. How many seashells did Adam collect?

41 seashells

Step-by-step explanation:

57-16=41

41 Seashells

Step-by-step explanation:

The key word is "fewer." This means we will subtract.

Adam has less seashells than Jenna.

57 - 16 = 41 Seashells

(A)  [(6 x 1.5) - 2] ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost of 6 pounds of apples:

1 pound = $1.50

6 pounds = 6 x 1.5

Price after discount:

Discount = $2

Price after discount = (6 x 1.5) - 2

The cost is shared with her friend:

One person = [(6 x 1.5) - 2] ÷ 2

(A)  [(6 x 1.5) - 2] ÷ 2
