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