A farmer harvests 850kg of parsnips.30% go to the local market and 50% go to a local supermarket. What mass of parsnips are left?

170 kg. of parsnips are left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

850 kg. of parsnips

30 % to the local market

50 % to a local supermarket

Solution:

First, add the two percentages.

30 + 50 = 80%

That means 80 % of parsnips mass go to the markets.

Now let's find the mass of delivered parsnips.

Change 80% to decimal form.

80% = 0.8

Now multiply it by 850 kg.

850 x 0.8 = 680

The delivered parsnips mass is 680 kg.

Now to find the mass of parsnips left, subtract 680 to 850

850 - 680 = 170 kg.

170kg. of parsnips are left.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
