George had 600 erasers. He gave
58 of it to Michael and
45 of the remainder to Opal. How many erasers had he left?
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Michael
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining erasers left after giving to Opal
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Michael and Opal
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of erasers = 40 u
40 u = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 40 = 15
Number of erasers left
= 3 u
= 3 x 15
= 45
Answer(s): 45
