Question

A hunter needs at least 300 pounds of deer corn per season. He has 60 pounds of corn left over from last season. If the dear corn is bought in 20-lb bags, find the number of bags of corn that are needed for the season.

Answer 1

Hi! To find how much he needs to buy you first need to subtract what he already has (60 pounds) from how much he needs total (300 pounds) which gives us 240. Then, divide that by how many pounds are in each bag (20) to find how many bags are needed.

The hunter needs 12 bags of dear corn for the season.

Hope this helps! :)
