For example: Suppose Thomas has p cookies and Landon has 58 fewer cookies than Thomas.
Let's find an expression representing the number of cookies with Landon.
Landon has 58 fewer cookies than p.
We have to find the expression for '58 fewer than p.'
“Fewer than” means subtraction.
So, 58 fewer than p is p – 58.
Number of cookies with Landon = p – 58
