Question

At the beginning of the year, the Wong family car had been driven 14,539 miles. At the end of the year, their car had been driven 21,844 miles. How many miles did the Wong family drive their car during that year?

Answer 1

`7305` miles

Explanation:

If at the beginning of the year, the Wong family's car had driven `14539` miles and at the end of the year, it had driven `21844` miles, then subtract `14539` from `21844` to determine the difference between the two values, which will tell you how many miles the Wong family drove their car for during the year.
