The farmer brought 80 acorn squash to the market.

When the day was over, he had 35% less acorn squash.

How many acorn squash does the farmer have left?

The total number of acorn squash that the farmer brought to the market = 80

Percentage of acorn squash was less when the day ended = 35%

Then

The amount by which the

number of acorn squash decreased at the end of the day = (35/100) * 80

= 280/10

= 28

Then

The number of acorn squash left with the farmer = 80 - 28

= 52

So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the farmer was left with 52 acorn squash at the end of the day.
