Question

So far, an orchard has sold a combined total of 974 pounds of fresh and frozen fruit this season. If they have sold 687 pounds of frozen fruit, how many pounds of fresh fruit have been sold so far?

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Combined means added together. So, when the problem says a combined total of fresh and frozen fruits, then it means they had to be added together. If we have sold 687 pounds of frozen fruits, then we can subtract 687 from 974 to get the amount of fresh fruit.

974 - 687 = 287

So, there has been 287 pounds of fresh fruit sold so far.
