To find out how many pounds of apples are left after selling 2.4 pounds, subtract the amount sold from the initial amount:
\[ 8.6 \text{ pounds} - 2.4 \text{ pounds} = 6.2 \text{ pounds} \]
So, there are 6.2 pounds of apples left.
A store had 8.6 pounds of apples. If 2.4 pounds were sold, how many pounds are left?
