How many redwood trees are left in the forest after a logging company cuts down 96,377 trees from an initial 537,681?

• A. 441,304 trees
• B. 441,403 trees
• C. 5.57 trees
• D. 5.18 trees

Answer: (A)

To determine the number of redwood trees remaining after the logging company's activity, you start with the initial number of trees, which is 537,681. From this number, you subtract the number of trees that were cut down, which is 96,377. The calculation works as follows: 537,681 (initial number of trees) - 96,377 (trees cut down) = 441,304 (remaining trees). This shows that there are 441,304 redwood trees left in the forest after the logging. This answer aligns with the first choice. The other choices present figures that do not accurately reflect the simple arithmetic involved in subtracting the number of cut trees from the total count, indicating they are not the result of this calculation.
