Answer:
75 coloured pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.
We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:
20% * x = 15
Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:
0.20x = 15
x = 15 / 0.20 = 75
Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 lost is 1/3 kept
2/3 of the 1/3 kept is 2/9 lost
1/3 x - 2/9 x = 4
3/9 x - 2/9 x = 4
1/9 x = 4
x = 36
First she lost 2/3 of 36, which is 24. She had 12 left. Then she lost 2/3 of 12 which is 8. She had 4 left.
Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 + 1/6 = (6+4)/24 = 10/24 = 5/12
why +1/6?
because: - (-) = +
