Q. Cooper has 16 math problems to do for homework. He has already finished p of them. Choose the expression that shows how many math problems Cooper has left.Choices:(A) p−16(B) 16+p(C) 16−p(D) 16
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem. Cooper has 16 math problems, finished p of them. We need to find how many are left.
Calculate remaining problems: Step 2: Calculate the remaining problems. Subtract the number of problems Cooper has done p from the total problems 16. 16−p.
Match with given choices: Step 3: Match the calculation with the given choices. The correct expression representing the remaining problems is 16−p, which matches choice (C).
