8. Just Bread sold 385 loaves of bread on Monday, 147 on Tuesday, and 126 on Wednesday. How many more loaves were sold on Monday than on Tuesday and Wednesday?

To solve the problem, we need to find out how many more loaves of bread were sold on Monday compared to the total sold on Tuesday and Wednesday combined. 1. **Identify the known quantities:** - Loaves sold on Monday: \( M = 385 \) - Loaves sold on Tuesday: \( T = 147 \) - Loaves sold on Wednesday: \( W = 126 \) 2. **Calculate the total loaves sold on Tuesday and Wednesday:** \[ T + W = 147 + 126 \] 3. **Perform the addition:** \[ T + W = 273 \] 4. **Now, find the difference between the loaves sold on Monday and the total sold on Tuesday and Wednesday:** \[ M - (T + W) = 385 - 273 \] 5. **Perform the subtraction:** \[ M - (T + W) = 112 \] Thus, Just Bread sold **112 more loaves on Monday than on Tuesday and Wednesday combined.**
