Question

Simon makes 30 cakes.
He gives 1/5 of the cakes to sali.
He gives 10% of the cakes to Jane.
What fraction of the 30 cakes does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5 of 30 = 6 hes left with 24

10% of 24 = 2.4 hes left with 21.6

he has 21.6/30 left

Answer 2

Multiply number of cakes by 1/5 and 10%

Sali = 30 x 1/5 = 20/5 = 6 cakes

Jane = 30 x 10% = 30 x 0.10 = 3 cakes

Total he kept = 30-6-3 = 21 cakes left
