acme lumber purchased 13.145 pine wood and 16.903 cedar wood to sell in the store. after 6 months they had sold7.589 pounds of lumber. about how many pounds of wood does acme company have left to sell?

Answer 1

22.459 pounds of wood

Explanation:

Total amount of wood in store = amount of pine wood purchased + amount of cedar in the store

Total amount of wood in store = 13.145 pine wood + 16.903 cedar wood

Total amount of wood in store = 30.048 pounds of wood

If acme lumber had sold 7.589 pounds of lumber after 6 months, the amount of pounds of woods that the company have left to sell = Total amount in store initially - amount sold after 6 months

Amount of pounds of woods that the company have left to sell = 30.048 - 7.589

The amount of pounds of woods that the company have left to sell = 22.459 pounds of wood
