In a cold storage, there were 847,532,308 lb potatoes. If 736,228,208 lb potatoes are sold off, then what is the weight of the remaining potatoes in the cold storage?

• A. 111,304,100 lb
• B. 111,306,100 lb
• C. 111,314,100 lb
• D. 111,316,100 lb

Answer 1

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.
