Question

how many is that?
here are two sorted cards.
if 80 pounds of peaches were harvested last year, how many pounds were harvested this year?
compared to last year, this years peach harvest decreased 25%.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the percentage of this year's harvest

Since this year's harvest decreased by 25% compared to last year, this year's harvest is \(100\% - 25\%=75\%\) of last year's.

Step2: Calculate the amount of this year's harvest

Last year's harvest is 80 pounds. So this year's harvest is \(80\times75\% = 80\times\frac{75}{100}=80\times\frac{3}{4}=60\) pounds.

Answer:

60 pounds
