Question

A farmer has 890 acres of land. She grows crops on 70% of her land. How many acres DO NOT have crops?

Answer 1

267 acres of land have no crops.

Explanation:

% without crops:

`= (100 - 70)\% \\ = 30\%`

acres with no crops:

`= 30\% * 890 \\ = (30)/(100) * 890 \\ \\ = 267 \: acres`

Answer 2

267 acres

Explanation:

70% has crops so 100-70 = 30

30 % does not have crops

890 * 30 %

890 * .30

267 acres
