Question

The total number of seeds in all the packets should be 680. If Packet 1 has 240 seeds and Packet 2 has 150 seeds, how many seeds should be there in Packet 3?

• A. 290
• B. 300
• C. 390
• D. 280

Answer 1

The correct option is A 290

Total number of seeds in 3 packets $=680$
Number of seeds in Packet 1 $=240$
Number of seeds in Packet 2 $=150$
Number of seeds in Packet 1 and 2 together $=240+150=390$
Number of seeds in Packet 3 $=680-390=290$Hence, there are 290 seeds in Packet 3.
