Question

Landon buys some of his clothes second hand. If 40% of his shirts are second hand and he owns 65 shirts, how many of Landon's shirts are second hand?

Answer 1

What we need to find here is, 40% of Landon's shirts.

Thus, 65*40/100 will give us the required answer!

= 26

Therefore 26 shirts of Landon are second hand and the rest are new(first hand)

Answer 2

26

Explanation:

6.5 is 10% of 65, so to find 40% of 65 we multiply 6.5*4=26
