Addition & Subtraction - Elementary Math

The park in town has 53 different rides, 7 of those rides were there when the park was built in 2000. How many rides were not available in 2000?

a. 32
b. 40
c. 43
d. 46

Answer: d

Explanation:
This is an addition and subtraction problem. Since we know that the ride has 53 rides now, we can subtract the 7 rides that were built in the year 2000 to come up with how many rides were not built in 2000 as follows:

53 – 7 = 46 rides
