My question is: Barkley gets 10 new dog bones at the beginning of the month. After 5 months, he has 8 bones available and has buried the rest. How many bones has he buried? Your thoughts:
He gets 10 new bones, every month for 5 months so he has 10 * 5 = 50 dog bones. He has 8 bones available which means he has buried 50 - 8 = 42 bones. The final answer: 42.
