Solution

The correct option is A 111,304,100 lb
Given,
Total amount of potatoes in cold storage = 847,532,308 lb

Quantity of potatoes sold
= 736,228,208 lb

Quantity of potatoes left = Total quantity of potatoes - Quantity of potatoes sold

= 847,532,308 - 736,228,208

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Let's write the numbers according to their place values.

Therefore, the quantity of potatoes left in the cold storage is 111,304,100 lb.
