Answer 1

18 candies.

Explanation:

Given:

Juwan collects 36 pieces of candy while trick-or-treating.

He eats one-third of them and gives a fourth of whats left away.

Question asked:

How many candies does he still have?

Solution:

Total candies collected by Juwan = 36

Candies eaten by Juwan =
`(1)/(3) \ of \ 36=(1)/(3) *36=12\ candies`

Remaining candies = 36 - 12 = 24

Candies given by her =
`(1)/(4)\ of\ 24= (1)/(4)*24=6\ candies`

Remaining candies = 24 - 6 = 18 Candies.

Thus, he still have 18 candies.
