Xavier had 800 erasers. He gave
58 of it to Paul and
45 of the remainder to Emma. How many erasers had he left?
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Paul
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining erasers left after giving to Emma
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Paul and Emma
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of erasers = 40 u
40 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 40 = 20
Number of erasers left
= 3 u
= 3 x 20
= 60
