Question

Brianna hoped to get 100 pumpkins from her garden this year. Since the weather was really great, 20% more pumpkins grew than expected. Unfortunately, animals ate 30% of all the pumpkins that grew.

How many pumpkins were left?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

84

Explanation:

Assuming that "hoped for" and "expected" are the same number, The number Brianna has remaining is ...

100(1 +20%)(1 -30%) = 100(1.2)(0.7) = 100(0.84) = 84

84 pumpkins were left.
