Question

Tanner baked a berry pie. The recipe called for 9 ounces of blackberries, 10 ounces of
raspberries, and 12 ounces of strawberries. In the supermarket, he only found 12-ounce
containers of berries. He bought 1 container of each kind of berry. After he baked the pie,
how many ounces of berries did Tanner have left?

Answer 1

Answer:  5 ounces

3 ounces of blackberries

2 ounces of raspberries

0 ounces of strawberries

================================================

Explanation:

The pie needs

• 9 oz of blackberries
• 10 oz of raspberries
• 12 oz of strawberries

Each container at the store is 12 oz of berries

After making 1 pie, he'll be left with...

• 12-9 = 3 oz of blackberries
• 12-10 = 2 oz of raspberries
• 12-12 = 0 oz of strawberries

That makes 3+2+0 = 5 ounces of berries total
