A box holds 2 dozen doughnuts. If the family ate 8 doughnuts, how many doughnuts are left?
assistant
How many doughnuts are in a box? ** Two dozens of doughnuts are equal to 2 x 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 doughnuts.
How many doughnuts are left? ** Since 8 doughnuts were eaten, therefore 24 - 8 = <<24-8=16>>16 doughnuts are left.
