Howard had 360 beads. He gave
58 of it to Carl and
45 of the remainder to Xuan. How many beads had he left?
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Carl
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining beads left after giving to Xuan
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Carl and Xuan
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of beads = 40 u
40 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 40 = 9
Number of beads left
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= 27
Answer(s): 27
