Percentage of sweets after George received from Valen
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Percentage of George's sweets that Zoe had after receiving from George
= 40% x 125%
=
40100 x 125%
= 50%
Percentage of sweets that George had left after giving to Zoe
= 125% - 50%
= 75%
100% = 80
Number of sweets that George had left
= 75% x 80
=
75100 x 80
= 60
