Question

Sarah had 25 candies. Sarah gave 25 of the candies to her sister. Of the amount left, she gave 2/3 to her friend. How many candies does Sarah have left for herself?

Answer 1

She has 5 candles left.

Explanation:

Total of candy Sarah has = 25candies

If Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister, the total amount she gave her sister will be 2/5 of 25

2/5 of 25 = 10

The remaining candy left will be 25-10 which is 15.

If she gave 2/3 of the amount left to her friend, the amount she gave her friend will be 2/3×15 = 10candies.
