Joshua used 23 more craft sticks on his project than candice. joshua used 41 craft sticks. how many craft sticks did candice use?

The correct answer is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is analyze the information we have.

We know that Joshua used 23 more crafts sticks than Candice. And we also know that the total he used is 41. So if we wanted to represent this in the form of equation, it would be as follows:

x + 23 = 41

Where x represents the amount used by Candice.

Now we just have to solve:

x = 41-23

x = 18

In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 18.
