Let's break down the problem step by step to understand how many boxes of vegetables Un took home:

1. Determine the number of boxes of carrots left:
- Initial number of boxes of carrots: 75
- Number of boxes of carrots sold: 68

To find how many boxes of carrots are left, we subtract the number of boxes sold from the initial number of boxes:
[tex]\[ 75 - 68 = 7 \][/tex]
So, Un has 7 boxes of carrots left.

2. Determine the number of boxes of potatoes left:
- Initial number of boxes of potatoes: 80
- Number of boxes of potatoes sold: 71

To find how many boxes of potatoes are left, we subtract the number of boxes sold from the initial number of boxes:
[tex]\[ 80 - 71 = 9 \][/tex]
So, Un has 9 boxes of potatoes left.

3. Calculate the total number of boxes of vegetables left:
- Number of boxes of carrots left: 7
- Number of boxes of potatoes left: 9

To find the total number of boxes left, we add the number of boxes of carrots left to the number of boxes of potatoes left:
[tex]\[ 7 + 9 = 16 \][/tex]
So, Un took home a total of 16 boxes of vegetables.

In summary:
- Number of boxes of carrots left: 7
- Number of boxes of potatoes left: 9
- Total number of boxes left: 16
