Answer 1

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Lin took 75 boxes of carrots and 80 boxes of potatoes to the market.

i.e. Total number of boxes of vegetables she took = $75+80=155$

Also, she sold 68 boxes of carrots and 71 boxes of potatoes.

i.e. Total number of boxes of vegetables she sold = $68+71=139$

Number of boxes of vegetable did she take home = $155-139= 16$

Hence, the number of boxes of vegetable did she take home  = 16

Answer 2

16 vegetables because 75-68=7 and 80-71=9 and 9+7=16
