-The given facts are 30 brownies, with chocolate toppings, of the
5 2
remaining brownies with cinnamon toppings.
Plan:
 Determine the operation to use.
-We will use addition, subtraction, and multiplication
 Write the number sentence.

Solve:
 Show the solution to the problem

denominator.
Check and Look Back:
 Check if the answer is reasonable.
 State the complete answer.
There are 12 brownies with peanut butter toppings.
