Question

I have 42 apples i give 10% of the apples to my mate i then give 15% of the apples to my mum how many do i have left

Answer 1

31 and a half apples

Explanation:

10% of 42 is 42 divided by 10 which is 4.2 apples

15% of 4.2 is 6.3

4.2apples+6.3apples is 10.5apples

So then you take away their apples from 42 apples which is 31.5 apples

which is technically 31 and a half apples.

I hope this helped you

Answer 2

32.13

Explanation:

10% of 42=4.2

Mate gets 4.2

42-4.2=37.8

15% of 37.8=5.67

Mom gets 5.67

37.8-5.67=32.13

32.13
