Farid put 395.7 grams of brown sugar into a canister. Then he carefully measured out 0.83 grams of it to use in a recipe for cookies. How much brown sugar is left in the canister?

To find out how much brown sugar is left in the canister, we need to subtract the amount used in the recipe from the initial amount.

395.7 grams - 0.83 grams = <<395.7-0.83=394.87>>394.87 grams
Therefore, there are 394.87 grams of brown sugar left in the canister.
