Respuesta :

The equation to represent the amount of apple left is  20 - ( 8 + 6 + 3 ) pounds.

Explanation:

Number of apples = 20 pounds

2 batches of apple sauce uses 4 pounds each of apples

So,

amount of apples used in apple sauce = 2 X 4 pounds

                                                                 = 8 pounds

1 batch of apple butter uses 6 pounds of apples

Apple juice requires 3 pounds of apples

Amount of apple left = 20 - ( 8 + 6 + 3 ) pounds

                                   = 3 pounds

Amount of apple left is 3 pounds

Therefore, the equation to represent the amount of apple left is 20 - ( 8 + 6 + 3 ) pounds.
