UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To find out how many toothpicks Marie has left after using some to make a bridge, we first need to calculate the total number of toothpicks she has initially.

Marie has:
- 231 toothpicks in one box
- 175 toothpicks in another box

Adding these together:

$$
231 + 175 = 406
$$

Now, she uses 319 toothpicks to make a bridge. We subtract the number of toothpicks used from the total:

$$
406 - 319 = 87
$$

Therefore, Marie has **87 toothpicks left**.
Marie has 87 toothpicks left.
