Answer: 21/30

Explanation this is because 1/5of 30 is 6 and 10 percent of 30 is 3

6+3=9

30-9=21

Therefore Simon has 21/30 cakes left

I hope it helps

Answer:

7/10 or 0.7 or 70% left.

Explanation:

Since he gives 1/5 of the cake to Sali, he gave 1/5 * 30 = 6 cakes away to Sali. Since 10% is 1/10, he gave away 1/10 * 30 = 3 cakes away to Jane. He has a total of 30 - 3 - 6 = 21 cakes left. 21/30 = 7/10, or 0.7, or 70% left.
