Answer

Problem

Robert had 21 tons of grains. He gave 35% of the grains to his friend. How many pounds of grains does Robert have.

Step

Amount of grains given away:

35% of 21 tons = 0.35 × 21 tons = 7.35 tons

Hint

Now, to find out how much grain Robert has left, subtract the amount he gave away from the initial total:

21 tons (initial) − 7.35 tons (given away) = 13.65 tons

Step

Now, as we’re asked to find the amount in pounds, let’s convert the remaining tons to pounds

1 ton = 2000 pounds

Step

Amount of grains left in pounds:

13.65 tons × 2000 pounds per ton = 27,300 pounds

Step

Therefore, Robert has 27,300 pounds of grains left after giving away 35% of his initial 21 tons of grains.
