Will give brainliest!! Mrs. Patterson bought a case of pencils at the beginning of the school year. The case had 48 boxes with 24 pencils in each box. She wants to give 8 pencils to each of her 23 students to begin the year. How many extra pencils will she have after she gives the pencils to her students?
A 1.336
B 1,152
C 1.068
D 968

This is my little sisters homework, apparently im not smart enough to do it so please help her!!

D) 968

Step-by-step explanation:

48 x 24 = 1152 (total pencils)

8 x 23 = 184 (total pencils given to all 23 students)

1152 - 184 = 968 (extra pencils)

The answer is 968

Step-by-step explanation:

First we know that there are 48 boxes with 24 pencils in each box so we must multiply (48x24=1,152) as shown this gives us 1,152 pencils. We also know that that teacher has 28 students and wants to give  them each 8 pencils, so we multiply again (28x8=184). Now we know that Mrs. Patterson has to give 184 of her pencils to her students, so we subtract 184 from the total amount of pencils she has (1152-184=968) Which gives us the answer, 968.
