A grand Math Metric Mela was held at the district level to celebrate young math whizzes. For each district, find out if the number of certificates were sufficient? If insufficient, calculate how many certificates fell short. If extra, calculate how many certificates were in excess.
Chittoor, A.P.: Certificates Printed: 18,225, Students Attended: 18,104
Certificates were sufficient. Extra certificates: 18,225 - 18,104 = 121 certificates.
Jaunpur, U.P.: Certificates Printed: 19,043, Students Attended: 19,265
Certificates were insufficient. Short by: 19,265 - 19,043 = 222 certificates.
Raigad, Maharashtra: Certificates Printed: 20,863, Students Attended: 19,974
Certificates were sufficient. Extra certificates: 20,863 - 19,974 = 889 certificates.
Explanation
(a) Certificates printed (18,225) > Students attended (18,104). Extra = 18,225 - 18,104 = 121. (b) Certificates printed (19,043) < Students attended (19,265). Shortage = 19,265 - 19,043 = 222. (c) Certificates printed (20,863) > Students attended (19,974). Extra = 20,863 - 19,974 = 889.
