Juliana Ellis · Answer 1

The total amount of hamburger that the manager of the store in the morning = 35.75 pounds

Quantity of hamburger sold to one customer during the day = 15.4 pounds

Quantity of hamburger sold to another customer during the day = 13.22 pounds

Total quantity of hamburger sold

by the manager during the day = (15.4 + 13.22) pounds

= 28.62 pounds

Then

The quantity of hamburger left in the store to sell = (35.75 - 28.62) pounds

= 7.13 pounds

So 7.13 pounds of hamburger is still left to be sold.
