Question

John had 80 filers to post around town. Last week, he posted 1/4 of them. This week, he posted 3/5 of the remaining filers. How many filers has he still not posted?

Answer 1

24 fillers

Explanation:

he had 80 to begin with so last week if he posted 1/4 of them he would have 3/4 left and

3/4 * 80 = 60

and then if he post 3/5 of the 60 remaining filers he would have 2/5 left

2/5 * 60 = 24

Answer 2

Answer: 24 fliers

Explanation:

he had 80 to begin with so last week if he posted 1/4 of them he would have 3/4 left and

3/4 * 80 = 60

and then if he posts 3/5 of the 60 remaining fliers he would have 2/5 left over and

2/5 * 60 = 24

so your answer is 24 fliers
