Q. Scott ate gg out of 1212 gumdrops. Choose the expression that shows how many gumdrops Scott has left.\newlineChoices:\newline(A) g−12g - 12\newline(B) gg\newline(C) 12−g12 - g\newline(D) 12+g12 + g
  1. Start with 1212 gumdrops: Scott started with 1212 gumdrops and ate gg of them.\newlineTo find out how many are left, subtract the number eaten (gg) from the total (1212).\newlineCalculation: 12−g12 - g
  2. Calculate remaining gumdrops: Check the choices to see which matches the calculation.\newline(A) g−12g - 12 (This would mean Scott ate more than he started with, doesn't make sense.)\newline(B) gg (This is just the number he ate, not what's left.)\newline(C) 12−g12 - g (This matches our calculation.)\newline(D) 12+g12 + g (This would mean he has more gumdrops after eating some, which is impossible.)
