Last summer, Jon’s family found 152 shells at the beach. This summer they were at the beach for 7 days. Each day they found 9 shells. How many fewer shells did they find this year than last year?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since on each day 9 shells were found, and there are 7 days: 7 x 9 = 63

Number of shells found this summer: 63

Number of shells found fewer this year than last year: 152 - 63 = 89

Hence, Jon’s family found 63 fewer shells than last year

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5
