Peter read P books last year, and Nikki read N books last year. If Peter read 35 more books than Nikki last year, which of the following reflects this relationship?

A. P > 35N
B. P < N − 35
C. P > N + 35
D. P = N − 35
E. P = N + 35

Peter reads 35 more books that Nikki
This translates to
P - N = 35
Or, P = N + 35
Option E

Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In PS, IVY approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer.


Peter read P books last year, and Nikki read N books last year. If Peter read 35 more books than Nikki last year, which of the following reflects this relationship?

A. P > 35N
B. P < N − 35
C. P > N + 35
D. P = N − 35
E. P = N + 35


Since Peter read more books than Nikki we have P>N. Moreover since Peter reads 35 more books than Nikki easily we can have P=N+35.

So the answer is (E).
