Justin works at a smoothie shop. Last week, the shop started with 600 pounds of fruit. On Monday, they used 155 pounds of fruit. On Tuesday, they used 140 pounds of fruit. How many pounds of fruit were left at the end of Tuesday?

Question

pounds

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of fruit were left at the end of Tuesday, we start with the initial amount of fruit and subtract the amounts used on Monday and Tuesday.

1. Start with 600 pounds of fruit.
2. Subtract the amount used on Monday: \[ 600 - 155 = 445 \text{ pounds} \]
3. Now, subtract the amount used on Tuesday: \[ 445 - 140 = 305 \text{ pounds} \]

Therefore, the amount of fruit left at the end of Tuesday is 305 pounds.
