Basic Arithmetic Problem on Summer Reading

<p>Let the total number of books Ada wants to read be \( T \).</p> <p>Let the number of books about cats be \( C \).</p> <p>Let the number of books about horses be \( H \).</p> <p>According to the problem, \( T = 12 \) and \( C = 5 \).</p> <p>To find \( H \), we subtract the number of books about cats from the total number of books:</p> <p>\( H = T - C \)</p> <p>\( H = 12 - 5 \)</p> <p>\( H = 7 \)</p> <p>Therefore, \( 7 \) books are stories about horses.</p>
