Question: The owner of a small store divided the sugar into 12 packs. If each pack weighs 250 grams and has 20 grams of sugar left, how many grams of sugar did he start with? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The total weight of the 12 packs of sugar is 250 x 12 = 3 000 grams. The owner started with 3000 + 20 = 3020 grams of sugar. So the answer is 3020.
