Good Job!
To solve this problem, we need to subtract the number of eggplants sold from the total number of eggplants grown. Here's how you can do it:
1. Take the total number of eggplants grown, which is 523.
2. Subtract the number of eggplants sold, which is 378.
3. Perform the subtraction: 523 - 378 = 145.
Therefore, you would have 145 eggplants left.
So the correct answer is D. 145.
