Addition and subtraction of whole numbers word problems answers:
To find the number of books left in the library, we need to subtract the number of books lent out and add the number of books donated to the original collection.
The equation is 22,740 - 5,219 + 937 = 18,458.
Therefore, there are 18,458 books left in the library after these transactions.
To find the number of pastries sold by the bakery in a month, we need to add the number of loaves of bread, cupcakes, and other pastries.
The equation is 7,345 + 1,090 + 5,456 = 13,891.
Therefore, the bakery sold 13,891 pastries in all during the month.
To find the number of widgets left in the factory at the end of the week, we need to subtract the number of widgets sold and discarded from the number of widgets produced.
The equation is 8,765 - 6,543 - 234 = 1,988.
Therefore, there are 1,988 widgets left in the factory at the end of the week.

To find the number of cows and sheep that the farmer has now, we need to subtract the number of cows sold and add the number of sheep bought to the original numbers.
The equations are 123 - 78 = 45 and 456 + 45 = 501.
Therefore, the farmer has 45 cows and 501 sheep now.
To find the number of bottles of juice and cans of soda left in the store after a day, we need to subtract the number of bottles of juice and cans of soda sold from the original numbers.
The equations are 789 - 345 = 444 and 456 - 234 = 222.
Therefore, there are 444 bottles of juice and 222 cans of soda left in the store after a day.
To find out how much money the family has left for other expenses, we need to subtract the total amount they spend from their budget.
The total amount they spend is $1,234 + $567 + $234 = $2,035.
The amount they have left is $2,345 - $2,035 = $310. Therefore, the family has $310 left for other expenses.
To find out how many children under 12 visited the museum during the month, we need to subtract the number of adults and children over 12 from the total number of visitors.
The number of adults and children over 12 is 3,987 + 5,067 = 9,054.
The number of children under 12 is 12,345 - 9,054 = 3,291. Therefore, 3,291 children under 12 visited the museum during the month.
To find out how many plain chocolates are there in the box, we need to subtract the number of chocolates with caramel filling and nuts from the total number of chocolates.
The number of chocolates with caramel filling and nuts is 45 + 34 = 79.
The number of plain chocolates is 123 - 79 = 44.
Therefore, there are 44 plain chocolates in the box.
To find out how many students the bus can pick up in total, we need to multiply the number of students it can carry at a time by the number of trips it makes.
The number of students it can pick up in total is 56 + 56 + 56 = 168.
To find out how many students are left, we need to subtract the number of students it can pick up from the number of students who need to go to school.
The number of students who are left is 345 - 168 = 177.
Therefore, the bus can pick up 168 students in total, and there are 177 students left.
To find out how much profit or loss the company makes in a month, we need to subtract the total expenses from the revenue.
The total expenses are $5,678 + $2,345 + $1,234 + $567 = $9,824.
The profit or loss is $12,345 - $9,824 = $2,521.
Therefore, the company makes a profit of $2,521 in a month.
