Of the fruit that arrives at a cannery, 20 percent by weight is rejected before processing. Of the fruit that is processed, 15 percent by weight is rejected be fore canning. Of the fruit that arrives at the cannery, what percent by weight is canned? Correct Answer 68%

Let the amount arrives be F. Remaining before processing = F - 20% of F = 0.8F Remaining after processing = 0.8F - 15% of 0.8F = 0.8F - 0.12F = 0.68F = 68% of F So, amount of food canned =  68%
