Kim had 120 cards in a box. She gave 6/10 of the cards to Maddy. How many cards did Kim have left in the box?

So, we need to find 6/10 of 120.

10 × 12 = 120.

120 - 60 = 60

That is half.

We need to subtract 12 one more time.

60 - 12 = 48.

Kim has 48 cars left in the box.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

120 cards *(6/10)=72 given away
120 cards-72=48 cards
