Rosy · Answer 1

I'm pretty sure its 16 boxes of vegetables that she had taken home because u subtract the 80 boxes of potatoes with the 71 boxes that she had sold then thats 9 boxes of potatoes. U then subtract the 75 boxes of carrots with the 68 boxes of carrots to get 7 boxes of potatoes left. So finally, you add the 9 boxes of potatoes of carrots with the 7 boxes of potatoes to get 16 boxes of vegetables that she had taken home.

She took 7 boxes of carrots and 9 boxes of potatoes home.

75 boxes of carrots - 68 boxes of carrots = 7 boxes of carrots.

80 boxes of potatoes - 71 boxes of potatoes = 9 boxes of potatoes.
