Question

Julio, Amari, and Henry take turns unloading a trailer holding 240 cases of soda. First, Julio unloads 1/5 of all the cases. Next, Amari unloads 117 of the remaining cases. How many cases of soda are still left on the trailer for Henry to unload?

Answer 1

We will determine it as follows:

*First: We determine the number of cases Julio unloaded, that is:

$240\cdot\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow48$

*Second: We calculate the remaining cases for Henry, that is:

$R=240-48-117\Rightarrow R=75$

So, Henry will unload 75 soda cases.
