Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does. If Jimmy has 32 sheets, how many more sheets will Jimmy have than Tommy if his friend Ashton gives him 40 sheets. Let's be accurate as possible.
If Jimmy has 32 sheets, and Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does, Tommy has 10 + 32 = 42 sheets. When Ashton gives Jimmy 40 sheets, his total number of sheets increases to 32 + 40 = 72. The number of sheets that Jimmy now have than Tommy is 72 - 42 = 30.
The answer: 30.
