Respuesta :
To calculate the number of people for whom to provide supplies for (B) you need to subtract the number of people who brought their supplies (P) from the overall number of people (72).
B=72-P
Answer:
P=72-B
Explanation:
The situation says that there is a group of 72 people from which some bring their own supplies, b, and for the rest the supplies will be provided, p. So, this means that:
P+B= 72
The situation is asking for an equation to determine the number of people for whom supplies will be provided, p. This means that you will have to isolate p from the equation:
P= 72-B
