This Month's Challenge: Lego Building Challenge
Everett and Piper are sorting their Lego collections. Everett has 3 boxes of one thousand pieces each, 5 boxes of one hundred pieces each, 7 boxes of ten pieces each, and 4 loose pieces. Piper has 2 boxes of one thousand pieces each, 8 boxes of one hundred pieces each, 4 boxes of ten pieces each, and 6 loose pieces.

The Answer!
728 pieces!
Let's solve this step by step:
Step 1: Calculate Everett's total pieces:
3 thousands + 5 hundreds + 7 tens + 4 ones = 3,574 pieces
Step 2: Calculate Piper's total pieces:
2 thousands + 8 hundreds + 4 tens + 6 ones = 2,846 pieces
Step 3: Find the difference:
3,574 - 2,846 = 728 pieces
Therefore, Everett has 728 more Lego pieces than Piper.
