Mika has a collection of Texas wildlife figurines. She has 2,345 figurines in total. If 1,576 of them are animals that can be found in the Big Bend area, how many figurines does Mika have that are not Big Bend animals?
- 769 ✓
- 868
- 1,768
- 2,576
Why: To find the number of figurines that Mika has which are not Big Bend animals, subtract the number of Big Bend animals from the total number of figurines. That is, 2,345 - 1,576 = 769. Therefore, Mika has 769 figurines that are not Big Bend animals.
Jamal collected 3,275 pinecones during a nature walk in Lufkin, Texas. He decided to give 1,468 pinecones to his friends for a craft project. How many pinecones does Jamal have left after giving some away?
- 1,807 ✓
- 1,817
- 1,625
- 1,579
Why: To find out how many pinecones Jamal has left, we need to subtract the number of pinecones he gave away from the total he collected. Start with 3,275 pinecones and subtract 1,468: 3,275 - 1,468 = 1,807. Therefore, Jamal has 1,807 pinecones left.

- $7.50
- $8.00
- $6.25
Why: To find the total amount Caleb spent, add the cost of the nachos ($4.50) and the cost of the soda ($2.25). So, $4.50 + $2.25 = $6.75. Therefore, the correct answer is $6.75.

- 20 liters
- 50 liters
Why: To find the total amount of soil Nisha has, you need to multiply the number of bags by the amount of soil in each bag. So, 2 bags * 20 liters per bag = 40 liters. Therefore, Nisha has 40 liters of soil in total.
