    Add 87+19

    106

    Subtract 42 from 106

    that makes 64

    Answer, 42

    42

    Work backward. 64 at the end. She found 19. Take those away to see how many she had before that. 64-19=45. So she has 45 now. She started with 87. So to find out how many nickels were used for the cookie, subtract 45 from 87. 87-45=42.
