Answer: 568 pens would be left

in total, there are 700 pens (14 x 50)

each worker takes 4 pens (33 x 4) so in total they've taken 132 pens

700 - 132 = 568

Paisley Arias · Answer 2

568 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pens bought = 14 * 50 = 700.

Total pens taken by the workers = 33 * 4 = 132.

Number left = 700 - 132 = 568.
