Fa a le mo tseleng, o ne a ema kwa lebenkeleng mme a reka pakete ya di-post-it; Kwa tirong, o ne a baya se-post-it se le seng mo go nngwe le nngwe ya dikopi tsa kofi di le 220. Fa a ne a setse ka di-post-it di le 23 ka kakaretso, go ne go na le di-post-it di le kae mo paketeng e a e rekileng?

Candice put 80 post-it notes in her purse before she headed out to her job at the coffee shop.  On her way, she stopped off at the store and purchased a package of Post-it notes;  At work, she placed a single Post-it note on each of 220 different cups of coffee.  If she had 23 post-it notes remaining overall, how many Post-it notes were in the package that she purchased?
A re re x ke palo ya di-post-it tse di mo paketeng e Candice a e rekileng.
Go tswa foo, palo yotlhe ya di-post-it tse a neng a na le tsone fa a tswa kwa lebenkeleng e ne e le 80+x.
Mme fa a dirisitse di-post-it di le 220 kwa tirong mme a sala ka di le 23, go raya gore 80+x=220+23
Fa re ntsha 80 mo letlhakoreng lengwe le lengwe la equation, re bona gore x=220+23-80=<<220+23-80=163>>163 di-post-it.
#### 163 

Let's let x be the number of post-it notes in the package that Candice purchased.
Then, the total number of post-it notes she had when she left the store was 80+x.
And if she used 220 Post-it notes at work and had 23 left, then 80+x=220+23
Subtracting 80 from each side of the equation, we see that x=220+23-80=<<220+23-80=163>>163 Post-it notes.
