"37 cars were in the grocery store parking lot. 33 more cars park at the grocery store."
"How many cars are in the parking lot now?"

Well, if the "Grocery store" and the "grocery store parking lot" are two places, it is impossible to tell...
Since I only know how many WERE parked and how many MORE are parked at the other place now (then I supposed were parked at place 1?), but how many there are NOW parked at place 1 is impossible to tell...
As I understand it....

With a smile
(I love khanacademy - big thanks)
