a. Haruto's Tomatoes
1.
Find the total tomatoes: Haruto started with

b. Webster Elementary School Attendance
1.
First Graders: There are 124 first graders, and 12 were absent.
$124 - 12 = 112$ first graders present.
2.
Second Graders: There are 130 second graders, and 9 were absent.
$130 - 9 = 121$ second graders present.
3.
Total Present: Add the students who were at school together.
$112 + 121 = 233$
There were
233 first and second graders in school.

c. Video Game Land Tickets
1.
Combine their tickets: Cole has 152 and Bryson has 84.
$152 + 84 = 236$ total tickets.
2.
Find the difference: The toy costs 300 tickets. Subtract the tickets they have from the cost.
$300 - 236 = 64$
They need
64 more tickets.
