The Tampa Bay Bucs have 13 football players and 16 cheerleaders. If 10 football players and 4 cheerleaders quit, how many football players and cheerleaders are left?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
There are 13 - 10 = 3 football players left. There are 16 - 4 = 12 cheerleaders left. In total there are 3 + 12 = 15 football players and cheerleaders left.
Thus, the answer is 15.
