Question

The farmer brought 80 cabbage to the market.

When the day was over, he had 30% less cabbage.

How much cabbage does the farmer have left?

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

30% of 80 is 24 so subtracted from 80 and you will get 56

Answer 2

56 cabbages.

Explanation:

Since he has 30% less cabbages, he has 70% remaining.

70% is represented as 0.7 in decimal form.

70% of 80 cabbages is 0.7 * 80, because the word "of" represents multiplication in math.

0.7*80 = 56.
