Question

When Jason wasn’t looking, his dog ate 3/20 of the teriyaki meatballs he was cooking on the grill. If Jason cooked 160 meatballs, how many does he have left?

Answer 1

Jason's dog ate 3/20 of the 160 meatballs, which equals 24 meatballs. After subtracting the 24 meatballs eaten by the dog from the total, Jason has 136 meatballs left.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many meatballs Jason has left after his dog ate 3/20 of them, we first need to calculate the amount eaten by his dog. Jason cooked a total of 160 meatballs. To calculate 3/20 of 160, we multiply 160 by 3/20:

160 x 3/20 = 24

So, the dog ate 24 meatballs. To find out how many are left, we subtract the amount eaten by the dog from the total number cooked:

160 - 24 = 136

Jason therefore has 136 meatballs left.

Answer 2

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information we obtain the following:

Meatballs remaining = Total meatballs - Meatballs that the dog ate

Meatballs remaining = 160 - (160*3/20)

Meatballs remaining = 160 - (480/20)

Meatballs remaining = 160 - 24

Meatballs remaining = 136

Finally we obtain that Jason has 136 meatballs left.
