Every year the Lee family has a big family dinner, and everyone brings a mug to exchange. The mugs are put on wooden hangers on the wall, and each wooden hanger can hold 12 mugs. Last year the family had 15 mugs to hang up. This year the Lee family filled three wooden hangers. How many more mugs were brought to the Lee family dinner this year compared to the previous year? *

Answer:

21 more mugs were brought this year than last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by subtracting the initial amount of mugs from the final amount of mugs.

To find the amount of mugs hung up this year, we will use the equation: m = 12w where m = the number of mugs & w = the number of wooden hangers. The 12 represents the amount of mugs per wooden hanger.

We can plug in 3 for w since 3 wooden hangers were filled up and we would get 12(3) = m = 36 mugs

Now we subtract last year's total mugs hung up from this year's total mugs hung up.

We end up with 36 - 15 = 21
