Answer
4200 kg

The correct answer is 4200 kg — Therefore, 4200 kg are exported each day.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Total cotton produced = 6000 kg.
  2. 70% of 6000 kg = 0.70 × 6000 = 4200 kg.
  3. Therefore, 4200 kg are exported each day.
Common mistake: Using 30% instead of 70% of the production
