Question

26. Ebele shared a basketful of groundnuts with her two sisters. If she gave the first sister 2/8 and the second sister 3/8 of the total quantity of groundnuts, what percentage of the groundnuts did she keep for herself?​

Answer 1

37.5%

Explanation:

Ebele gave her two sisters a total of 62.5% of groundnuts. She kept 37.5% to herself.

2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8

5/8 = 0.625 = 62.5%

100 - 62.5 = 37.5
