A business has 1,380 products for sale. The business sells 520 products and donates 145 products to a charity.

Which three equations can be used to find the number of products, [tex]p[/tex], the business has left?

A. [tex]520 - 145 + p = 1,380[/tex]
B. [tex]520 - 145 - p = 1,300[/tex]
C. [tex]1,300 - 520 - 145 = p[/tex]
D. [tex]1,380 + 520 - 145 = p[/tex]
E. [tex]1,380 - 520 - 145 = p[/tex]

Answer :

The business is left with 715 products and the answer is E
To find the number of products the business has left, let's break it down step by step.

1. Start with the initial number of products:
- The business originally has 1,380 products.

2. Subtract the products that have been sold:
- The business sells 520 products. So, subtract these from the initial amount:
[tex]\[
1,380 - 520 = 860
\][/tex]

3. Subtract the products that have been donated:
- The business donates 145 products to charity. Subtract these from the remaining products:
[tex]\[
860 - 145 = 715
\][/tex]

So, the number of products left with the business is 715.

Now, let's look at the equations provided to find which one matches this situation:

- The equation [tex]\( 1,350 - 520 - 145 = p \)[/tex] accurately represents the operations we carried out:
- We subtracted the sold products (520) and the donated products (145) from the original number of products (1,380).

Therefore, the correct equation that represents the number of products left, [tex]\( p \)[/tex], is:
[tex]\[ 1,380 - 520 - 145 = p \][/tex]

This means the correct choice is:
- E [tex]\( 1,380 - 520 - 145 = p \)[/tex]

The business is left with 715 products.
