My question is: There are 100 jellybeans in a glass jar. Mrs. Copper’s kindergarten class normally has 24 kids, but 2 children called in sick and stayed home that day. The remaining children who attended school eat 3 jellybeans each. How many jellybeans are still left in the jar? Your thoughts:

With the sick children who stayed home, there are this many kindergarten students in the class: 24 - 2 = 22 kids. This many jellybeans are eaten: 22 x 3 = 66 jellybeans. This many jellybeans are still left in the jar: 100 - 66 = 34 jellybeans. The final answer: 34.
