Question

A farmer kept 96 kilograms of animal feed in his barn.

The barn leaked and
1/10
of the feed was wasted.

How much animal feed was left?

Answer 1

Answer:86.4 kg

Explanation:

96 x 1/10= 96/1 x1/10=96/10=9.6

96kg-9.6kg=86.4 kg

Answer 2

The amount of animal feed left was 86.4 kilograms.

Explanation:

Initial amount of animal feed in the barn was 96 kilograms.

The barn leaked and
`(1)/(10)` of the feed was wasted.

So, the amount of feed wasted
`=(1)/(10)(96)=9.6` kilograms.

Now, for finding the amount of feed that was left, we need to subtract the amount of wasted feed from the initial amount of feed.

So, the amount of animal feed left
`=(96-9.6)\ kilograms=86.4\ kilograms`
