The Laughing Lollipop candy store is holding a raffle, and Travis wins the grand prize! He wins a gift card to the store, as well as a bag of giant lollipops. He gives 14 lollipops to his friends, and he keeps the remaining 7 lollipops. Which equation can you use to find the total number of lollipops n in the bag?

Answer :

Answer: n-14 = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to write an equation to answer this question.

The bag has n lollipop and he gives 14 lollipops to his friend.

So, we have to subtract 14 lollipops to the n lollipops in the bag.(n-14)

That expression is equal to the remaining lollipops in the bag (7)

The complete expression is

n-14 = 7

Solving for n

n =7+14

n = 21

The total number of lollipops in the bag is 21.
