PROBLEM SOLVING: Xavier made 25 pounds of roasted almonds for a fair. He has 3 1/2 pounds left at the end of the fair. How many pounds of roasted almonds did he sell at the fair?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you'll need to subtract 25 (total quantity of roasted almonds) by the remaining variable of roasted almonds (3 1/2 lbs.), resultant towards finding how many pounds of roasted almonds Xavier had sold; Xavier had sold 21 1/2 pounds of almonds.
