Answer 2

Given:

A shopkeeper has 568kg of sugar. He sells 48 kg of sugar every day.

To find:

The amount of sugar left after 8 days.

Solution:

The amount of sugar left after 8 days is 184 kg.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given, we have,

The total amount of sugar that the shopkeeper has

$= 568 \: kg$

Now,

The amount of sugar he sells every day

$= 48 \: kg$

So,

The total amount of sugar sold in 8 days

$= 48kg \times 8$

$= 384 \: kg$

Now,

The amount of sugar left with shopkeeper after 8 days

$= (568 - 384)kg$

$= 184 \: kg$

Hence, the amount of sugar left with the shopkeeper after 8 days is 184 kg.
