Q. Trudy bought a bag of 30 sour candies. She ate c of the candies. Choose the expression that shows how many sour candies Trudy has now.Choices:(A) 30+c(B) 30−c(C) c(D) c−30
Calculate Remaining Candies: Trudy started with 30 candies and ate some, so we need to subtract the number she ate from the total.
Write Expression for Remaining Candies: The expression for the candies left would be the initial amount minus the amount eaten, which is 30−c.
Substitute and Calculate: To find out how many candies are left, we substitute c with the number of candies Trudy ate and calculate 30−c.
