To solve the following word problem using a step-by-step logical process, what is the correct initial statement that establishes the starting condition?
'A library begins the month with 450 books on its 'New Arrivals' shelf. During the first week, 120 of these books are checked out. In the second week, the library adds 75 new books to the shelf. In the third week, 90 more books are checked out.'
Identifying the Initial Condition in a Word Problem
Consider the following word problem: 'A food truck starts its day with 80 sandwiches. It sells 45 during the lunch rush and then prepares 30 more for the evening.' The correct first step in a structured, logical breakdown to solve this problem is to calculate '80 - 45 = 35'.
