2nd Grade Mad Minutes - D math worksheet featuring arithmetic problems and a story question.

Let’s solve the story question step by step.

The problem says:
> Pete collected 150 stamps.
> Nick collected 43 fewer stamps than Pete.
> How many stamps did Nick collect?

“Fewer” means we need to subtract.

So, we take Pete’s number of stamps — that’s 150 — and subtract 43 from it.

Let’s do the math:

Start with 150.
Subtract 40 first:
150 - 40 = 110

Now subtract the remaining 3:
110 - 3 = 107

So, Nick collected 107 stamps.

We can also write it as one equation:
150 - 43 = 107

Double-checking:
If Nick has 107, and Pete has 150, then the difference is:
150 - 107 = 43 → which matches the problem!

Final Answer:
107
