A chemist bought 2390 test tubes and beakers. 1034 of them were test tubes and the rest were beakers. How many more beakers did the chemist buy than test tubes?

322

Step-by-step explanation:

The question explains that the total of both test tubes and beakers were

= 2390.

If 1034 of them were test tubes, then the number of beakers bought,

= 2390 - 1034

= 1356.

The question requires the answer to how many more beakers than test tubes were bought, and this would mean subtracting the number of beakers from the number of test tubes.

= 1356 - 1034

= 322

Therefore, 322 more beakers than test tubes were bought.
