Problem: Villa Park Public Library

One day Peter was going to the library. He needed to get 147 picture books for the school. There is a total of 7,929 books in the library before Peter takes his books out. How many books are left after Peter visits the library?

Answer:

There are 7,782 books left.

How to find the answer:

We wrote to the Villa Park Library to ask how many picture books they have. Then they wrote back to us that they had 7,929 picture books. Next we made up a subtraction problem that went like this: We subtracted 147 from 7,929 picture books. The answer was: There are 7, 782 books left.
