A farmer gathered 208 red apples and 187 green apples from his orchard. He fed 93 of the apples to his pigs. He packaged the rest to ship to a grocery store. How many apples did the farmer ship to the store?

Question

apples

Answer 1

To find out how many apples the farmer shipped to the store, we first need to determine the total number of apples he gathered and then subtract the number of apples he fed to his pigs.

1. Calculate the total number of apples: \[ 208 \text{ (red apples)} + 187 \text{ (green apples)} = 395 \text{ apples} \]

2. Subtract the number of apples fed to the pigs: \[ 395 \text{ apples} - 93 \text{ apples} = 302 \text{ apples} \]

Therefore, the farmer shipped 302 apples to the store.
