Albert had 440 beads. He gave
58 of it to Henry and
45 of the remainder to Cathy. How many beads had he left?
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Henry
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining beads left after giving to Cathy
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Henry and Cathy
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of beads = 40 u
40 u = 440
1 u = 440 ÷ 40 = 11
Number of beads left
= 3 u
= 3 x 11
= 33
