Answer:

1403 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Amount of vegetables = 1482 pounds
  • Percentage of spoiled vegetables = 5.3%

We are required to determine the amount vegetables that were not spoiled;

We can first determine the number of spoiled vegetables;

Spoiled vegetables = % of spoiled vegetables × Total amount of vegetables

                                 = 5.3/100 × 1482

                                 = 78.546 pounds

Thus;

Amount of vegetables not spoiled = 1482 pounds - 78.546 pounds

                                                         = 1403.454

                                                         = 1403 pounds

Hence, the amount of vegetables not spoiled is 1403 pounds.
