Question

Isabel grows potatoes in her . This year, she harvested 760 potatoes and saved 10 % of them to animal next year. How many of the harvested potatoes did Isabel save to animal next year?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. The number of harvested potatoes Isabel saved to animal next year can be calculated by multiplying the total number of potatoes Isabel harvested, 760 , by the proportion of potatoes she saved. Since she saved 10 % of the potatoes she harvested, the proportion of potatoes she saved is 10 100 , or 0.1 . Multiplying 760 by this proportion gives 760 0.1 , or 76 , potatoes that she saved to animal next year. Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
