Hello!
Lets tackle each section separately!
So Robin gives the first group
of the apples.
To find how many apples that is in standard form, we divide 40 by 8.
40 ÷ 8 = 5.
So the first group ate 5 apples.
The second group ate 4 apples.
We do not have to calculate anything since it is already in standard form.
The third group ate 20% of the apples.
To find 20% of forty we can multiply 40 by 0.20, since 0.20 is the decimal equivalent of 20%.
40 × 0.20 = 8.
The last group of children ate 8 apples.
Now we add each groups apple intake together.
5 + 4 + 8 = 17.
Finally, we subtract 17 from 40.
40 - 17 = 23.
There were 23 apples left.
