Solution

To solve this problem, we need to subtract the number of pencils that fell on the floor from the total number of pencils in the box.

Step 1: Identify the total number of pencils. The box says there are 10 colored pencils inside.

Step 2: Identify how many pencils fell on the floor. The problem says that 6 pencils fell on the floor.

Step 3: Subtract the number of pencils that fell on the floor from the total number of pencils.

So, 10 (total pencils) - 6 (pencils that fell) = 4 pencils.

Therefore, 4 colored pencils stayed in the box.
