Solution
The correct option is A 795 Given, Stacy harvests 7 sacks containing 100 corncobs each, 9 sacks containing 10 corncobs each, and 5 more corncobs.
7 sacks containing 100 corncobs each = 7 times 100 = 700 corncobs
9 sacks containing 10 corncobs each = 9 times 10 = 90 corncobs
So, total number of corncobs harvested by Stacy = 700 + 90 + 5
= 795 corncobs
