Question

⦁ The family likes peaches and other fruits. The local farmer’s market is selling fresh peaches at a discounted price. If the farmer’s market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining, how many peaches did it originally have on hand? Show all your work and explain how you used equivalent ratios to solve the problem

please help im struggling

Answer 1

98

The answer is 98 because since the farmer's market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining you have to turn 35% into a decimal which is 0.35 then multiply that times 280 and get 98.

Answer 2

431

Explanation:

To find out how many the farmer has sold, use this equation:

0.35*280/65%

It is equal to about 151

280+151 = 431

hopefully im right
