The total number of acorn squash that the farmer brought to the market = 80
Percentage of acorn squash was less when the day ended = 35%
Then
The amount by which the
number of acorn squash decreased at the end of the day = (35/100) * 80
                                                                                             = 280/10
                                                                                             = 28
Then
The number of acorn squash left with the farmer = 80 - 28
                                                                               = 52
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the farmer was left with 52 acorn squash at the end of the day.
