Xavier was fixing a jigsaw puzzle. On the second day, the number of pieces he fixed was 60% of the total number of pieces. After another two weeks, he fixed another 198 pieces and was left with 10% of the jigsaw puzzle unfixed. How many pieces were left unfixed?

Before
|
3 x 2 =
6 u |
2 x 2 =
4 u |
5 x 2 =
10 u |
| Change |
+ 198 |
- 198 |
|
After |
9 u |
1 u |
10 x 1 =
10 u |
60% =
60100 =
35 Fixed : Total = 3 : 5
10% =
10100 =
110 Unfixed : Total = 1 : 10
Number of more pieces that Xavier fixed
= 9 u - 6 u
= 3 u
3 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 3 = 66
Number of pieces left unfixed
= 1 u
= 1 x 66
= 66
Answer: 66
