Liam had 400 pens. He gave
58 of it to Tommy and
45 of the remainder to Raeann. How many pens had he left?
Fraction of the pens left after giving to Tommy
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining pens left after giving to Raeann
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the pens left after giving to Tommy and Raeann
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of pens = 40 u
40 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 40 = 10
Number of pens left
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
