In the process of milling grain, 3% of the original is lost because of spillage, and another 5% of the originalis lost because of mildew. If the inill starts out
with 490 tons of grain, how much in tons) reinains to be sold after milling?

450.8 tons of grain remain to be sold after milling.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in total 8% of the original grain is lost (3% spillage + 5% mildew). We can multiply the original 490 tons by 8% to find out how many tons are lost.

490 × 8% > 490 x 0.08= 39.2 tons.

We now know that 39.2 tons are lost. We subtract this from the original to see how much remains.

490 - 39.2= 450.8 tons.

We have 450.8 tons remaining.
