Question

They harvested 12 baskets of sili. Each basket held 425 sili, but 197 sili went bad. How many healthy pieces of sili did they have left?

a) 4,828
b) 4,678
c) 4,625
d) 4,403

Answer 1

To find out how many healthy pieces of sili they had left, subtract the number of bad sili from the total. The answer is 4,903 healthy pieces of sili.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many healthy pieces of sili they had left, we need to subtract the number of bad sili from the total.

Each basket held 425 sili, so the total number of sili harvested is 12 x 425 = 5100 sili.

Subtracting the 197 bad sili, we get 5100 - 197 = 4,903 healthy pieces of sili.
