Persy · Answer 1

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that we started with a higher number than we ended with, it is obvious that this is a subtraction problem. Then, we simply have to find the difference by subtracting 87 by 56 (87 - 56 = x). After the calculation, we see that the answer is 31 (87 - 56 = 31).

We just have to calculate 87 - 56 which is 31 so the answer is 31 sunflowers.
