Bill is trying to count the toddlers at his daycare, but they keep running around. He double-counts 8 toddlers and misses 3 who are hiding. If Bill thinks he counted 26 toddlers, how many are there really?
First subtract the 8 toddlers Bill double-counted from his count: 26 toddlers - 8 toddlers = <<26-8=18>>18 toddlers
Then add the 3 toddlers he missed to find the real count: 18 toddlers + 3 toddlers = <<18+3=21>>21 toddlers
