100-100=0
60-20=40
8-2=6
40-6=34

2. There are 22 boxes. Each box holds 9 bottles of juice. How many bottles are there altogether

My Holiday Experience
During the holidays my family and i went to the beach for a family outing.We went in our car on Monday 2nd October 2017.
First we went camping. We went fishing but we needed to find a river.When the sun settled my sister and brother were asleep but my dad and i went to look for wood.I felt excited like i was going to explode like a bomb.
Then we went for a hike up a mountain and we went up there three times and went fishing again. After that we had s'mores and went to sleep.The next day we did the same things like the previous days.On the last day we did some hunting before we got ready to go back home. But i was sad because i did not want to go back home.
When we arrived home we had a shower then got changed into our pyjamas and i was so tired from all the hiking plus the hunting and eating s'mores.Before going to bed i had a glass of milk. I felt exhausted and sleepy.
