Answer:
378 penciles left
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Harrell bought 24 packs of pencils, a total of 24×24=576 pencils.
She gave away 6×23=138 pencils to her students.
She also put 12×5=60 pencils in the learning centers.
Therefore, Mrs. Harrell has 576−138−60=
378 pencils left.
Answer:
378
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Harrell initially bought 24 packs of pencils, with each pack containing 24 pencils. So, the total number of pencils she initially had is 24 × 24 = 576 pencils.
She then gave 6 pencils to each of her 23 students,
which is a total of 23 × 6 = 138 pencils.
She also put 12 pencils in each of her 5 learning centers, which is a total of 5 × 12 = 60 pencils.
To find out how many pencils Mrs. Harrell has left, we subtract the total number of pencils given to students and put them in learning centers from the total number of pencils initially:
[tex]\sf Total\: pencils\: = 576 \:pencils- 138\: pencils - 60 \: pencils} = 378\:pencils[/tex]
