Question

A teacher bought a bag of candy with 240 pieces she gave 30% of the pieces to another teacher she put half of what was left in the bag into a jar on her desk she gave the 25 students in her class and equal amount of the remaining candy in the class how many pieces of candy does the teacher have left in the bag

Answer 1

11 pieces of candy would remain.

30% of 240 is 72, divide that in half for the ones in the jar.

Assuming that the ones in the jar go to the 25 students equally, each would get 1 piece of candy. Leaving 11 pieces left.
