Question

there were 74 ice pops in a freezer. david put additional ice pops in the freezer. now there are 96 ice pops in total. how many ice pops did david put in the freezer? ice pops

Explanation:

Step1: Define the unknown

Let \( x \) be the number of ice pops David put in the freezer.

Step2: Set up the equation

The initial number of ice pops plus the number David added equals the total number now. So, \( 74 + x = 96 \).

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract 74 from both sides of the equation: \( x = 96 - 74 \).
Calculate \( 96 - 74 = 22 \).

Answer:

22
