Milo is packing a balikbayan box that he will send to his parents for Christmas. He included a total of 37,500 grams of canned goods, 28,800 grams of lotion/body mist, and 24,360 grams of assorted stuff for his parents. If he could only fill the box up to 100,000 grams, how much more could he pack in his box?
first we need to sum up the grams he will pack for his parents
37,500 grams of canned goods
+28,800 grams of lotion/body mist
+25,360 grams of assorted stuff for his parents
= 90,660 grams
second, we will subtract the total of what we have added up to 100,000 grams
100,000 grams
- 90,660 grams
= 9,340
= 9,340 is the final answer
ANSWER:
Milo could pack 9,340 grams more in his balikbayan box.
