Question

The farmer brought 200 blueberries to the market. When the day was over, he had 40% less blueberries. How many blueberries does the farmer have left?

Answer 1

The farmer has 120 blueberries remaining after selling 40% of the initial 200 blueberries at the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many blueberries the farmer has left after selling 40% of them at the market. To solve this, we calculate 40% of 200 blueberries, which gives us the number sold. Then we subtract that number from the original 200 to determine how many are left.

Firstly, to find 40% of 200, we multiply 200 by 0.40 (40/100):
200 x 0.40 = 80 blueberries sold.

Next, we subtract the number of blueberries sold from the original amount to find out how many are left:
200 - 80 = 120 blueberries remaining.

To find out how many blueberries the farmer has left after selling 40% of them, we need to calculate 40% of 200, which is 0.4 * 200 = 80 blueberries that the farmer has sold.

So, the farmer has 200 - 80 = 120 blueberries left.
