Bryan had 480 beads. He gave
58 of it to Peter and
45 of the remainder to Winnie. How many beads had he left?
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Peter
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining beads left after giving to Winnie
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Peter and Winnie
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of beads = 40 u
40 u = 480
1 u = 480 ÷ 40 = 12
Number of beads left
= 3 u
= 3 x 12
= 36
