36 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

Data:

The cost price  = $ 99

The weight of potatoes  = 272 pounds

9 bags containing 10 pounds gives = 9 × 10

                                                           = 90 pounds

The remainder                                   = 272 - 90

                                                           = 182 pounds

dividing the remainder into 5 pound bags  = 182/5

                                                                       = 36.4

                                                                       or

The remainder will be 2 pounds

She will sell 36 five-pound bags
