If a forest survey counted 120 elephants, 45 tigers and 30 leopards, how would you find the total number of animals counted?
Add all three counts together: 120+45+30 = 195 animals in total.

How would you find how many more elephants than leopards were counted?
Subtract the leopard count from the elephant count: 120 minus 30 = 90 more elephants.
