At the height of cranberry season, there are 60000 cranberries in a bog. 40% are harvested by humans and another 20000 are eaten by elk. How many cranberries are left?
Reason slowly and give your answer.
16000
First find the total number of cranberries harvested by humans: 60000 cranberries * 40% = 24000.

Then subtract the number of cranberries taken by the humans and elk to find the number remaining: 60000 cranberries - 24000 cranberries - 20000 cranberries = 16000 cranberries.

.

Thus, the answer is 16000
