The school made $85 from potato sales to raise money for the school choir.

Given, Total amount of money raised by Kylie's school for the school choir is $189.

The school made $41 from squash sales,

$37 from Brussels sprouts,

$26 from persimmons and

from potato sales = ?

we need to determine how much amount of money is made by potato sales.

we know that total money = $189

all the stalls from the farmers's market = squash sales+Brussels sprouts + persimmons + potato sales.

let x be the amount of money raised by potato sales.

hence 41+37+26+x=189

⇒ 41+37+26+x=189

Add the terms.

⇒104+x=189

⇒ x = 189-104

⇒ x = 85

Hence the amount of money raised by potato sales is $85.
