Answer 1

In an archaeological find, 300 scrolls were found, of which 65% were unreadable. Of those in which it was possible to read a part, about 20% was read. If we made new scrolls with the legible parts, how many scrolls would we have​

we have

total scrolls------> 300

unreadable=65%-------> 0.65*300=195 scrolls

remaining=300-195=105 scrolls------> possible to read a part

Find out 20% of 105 scrolls

so

0.20*105=21 scrolls

therefore

answer is 21 scrolls
