The farmer brought 80 acorn squash to the market.
When the day was over, he had 35% less acorn squash.
How many acorn squash does the farmer have left?
The total number of acorn squash that the farmer brought to the market = 80 Percentage of acorn squash was less when the day ended = 35% Then The amount by which the number of acorn squash decreased at the end of the day = (35/100) * 80 = 280/10 = 28 Then The number of acorn squash left with the farmer = 80 - 28 = 52 So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the farmer was left with 52 acorn squash at the end of the day.
