Solution
The correct option is C 700 Amy harvests 20 bags containing 10 potatoes each from her farm.
Number of potatoes harvested by Amy = 20 tens = 20 times 10 = 200
Stacy harvests 5 bags containing 100 potatoes each from her farm.
Number of potatoes harvested by Stacy = 5 hundreds = 5 times 100 = 500
So, total number of potatoes harvested by both of them = 200 + 500
200 + 500 = 700
So, Amy and Stacy harvested 700 potatoes in total.
