(Remember to write 5 or more complete sentences)

Answer 1

• 170 pieces left

Explanation:

There are total 300 pieces of candy.

Adrian gets 1/4 of total

Multiply the total number by 1/4, to find the number Adrian gets:

• 300*1/4 = 75

Darien gets 10% of total.

10% is equal to 10/100 = 1/10. Multiply 300 by 1/10 to get the number Darien gets:

• 300*1/10 = 30

The little brother gets 25 pieces.

Number of pieces Jordan has given:

• 75 + 30 + 25 = 130

Number of pieces left:

• 300 - 130 = 170 pieces
