Answer:

She took home 16 boxes of vegetables.

Explanation:

First you should add the amount of boxes she took to the market. 75+80=155.

Second you should add how many boxes she sold. 68+71=139.

Lastly you should subtract the amount of boxes she took to the market and the amount of boxes she sold. 155-139=16

Hope this helps!!!
