Answer :

31-8=23
this is an easy question you should be able to get this.

Answer:

The answer is 23 elephants

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to subtract 8 elephants to the total amount of elephants that there are in the wild life reserve.

These 8 elephants were born during summer, not before, and the question is about the total amount of elephants before summer.

So, the mathematical operation is:

Elephants after summer=31

Elephants were born during summer=8

Elephants before summer=31-8=23

Finally, the total amount of elephants before summer are 23.
