Question

Linda had 98 fliers to post around town. Last week, she posted 2/7 of them. This week, she posted 3/7 of the remaining fliers. How many fliers has she still not

posted?​

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

total = 98

posted last week = 98*2/7 = 28

remaining from last week = 98-28 = 70

posted this week = 70*3/7 = 30

not yet posted = 70-30 = 40

Answer 2

40

Explanation:

There are 98 fliers in total

she posted 2/7 in the first week which is equal to : 98 ÷ 7 × 2 = 28

In second week she posted 3/7 of the remaining fliers which is equal to : 70 ÷ 7 × 3 = 30

She has 40 fliers left that is not posted yet.
