A woman buys 23 pounds of potatoes. She gives 10% of them to a neighbor and 15% of them to her mother. How many pounds does she have left?
17.25 pounds.
12.63 pounds.
20.7 pounds.
19.55 pounds.
Detailed Explanation
First, calculate 10% of 23 pounds: \(23 \times 10 \% = 2.3\) pounds
Then, calculate 15% of 23 pounds: \(23 \times 15 \% = 3.45\)
Then, calculate the total number of pounds the woman gave away: 2.3 + 3.45 = 5.75
Finally, calculate how many pounds she has left: 23 – 5.75 = 17.25
