Question

Harry searched the pineapple garden for 300 pineapples.

（a）How many pineapples are left after Harry sells 40%'s pineapples? ​

Answer 1

Persuming he actually did get them 300 pineapples the answer would be 180

Explanation:

1. Work out 40% of 300. To do this first find 10% (÷10) so that would mean 300÷10 which is 30. Then work out 40% by Multiplying the answer by 4. (120)
2. The 120 is the amount of pineapples that were sold. We want the amount left over.
3. To find out simply do 300 - 120 = 180
4. So that means Harry has 180 pineapples left after selling 40%

Answer 2

120 pineapples

Explanation:

40% = 0.40

300 * 0.40 = 120 pineapples
