Marco and his dad went strawberry picking. Marco's strawberries weighed 11 pounds. If together their strawberries weighed 47 pounds. How much more did his dad's strawberries weigh than his?
1) Marco's strawberries weigh 11 pounds. 
2) Together, Marco and his dad's strawberries weigh 47 pounds. 
3) Marco's dad's strawberries weigh more than Marco's strawberries. 

We can set up an equation to solve this problem: 

Marco's strawberries + Marco's dad's strawberries = 47 

11 + Marco's dad's strawberries = 47 

Marco's dad's strawberries = 36 

Marco's dad's strawberries weigh 36 pounds more than Marco's strawberries.
