Elijah had 800 erasers. He gave
58 of it to Tim and
45 of the remainder to Kimberly. How many erasers had he left?
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Tim
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining erasers left after giving to Kimberly
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the erasers left after giving to Tim and Kimberly
= 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
