Answer 2

Answer:

54.7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

There is a total of 1,015 pounds of apple.

Each bushels have 39.2 pounds =  9 × 39.2 pounds = 352.8

Each box have 15.5 pounds = 15.5 × 25 = 387.5

Each bag have 5.5 pounds = 40 × 5.5 pounds = 220

Now  

Adding the quantities

= 352.8 + 387.5 + 220

= 960.3

Now the remaining pound of apples is

= 1,015 - 960.3

= 54.7 pounds
