Michael had 240 stamps. He gave
58 of it to Ian and
45 of the remainder to Vanessa. How many stamps had he left?
Fraction of the stamps left after giving to Ian
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining stamps left after giving to Vanessa
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the stamps left after giving to Ian and Vanessa
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of stamps = 40 u
40 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 40 = 6
Number of stamps left
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= 18
Answer(s): 18
