janelle needs to score 280,000 points on her computer game to get to the next level. so far she scored 96,675 points. how many more points does janelle need to score to reach the next level use mental math strategies to find the answer.

Answer 1

What you would do for a easy way is 280,000-96,675 which equals 183,325 so 183,325 is your answer

Answer 2

Well, you can simply solve that by saying;
x + 96675=280000
  What this means is; an unknown number of points need to be added to the current points to reach the required points.
 Anyway, all you have to do now is subtract 96675 from 280000. That will be;
280000-96675=x
183325=x
x=183325 points.
 So she needs to get 183325 more points to get to the next level. Hope i helped. Have a nice day
