A merchant had a batch of 120 face shields. If you sold 5/6 of the lot yesterday, how many protectors do you have to sell?

Answer:

20 face shields.

Explanation:

You have 120 face shields.

You sell 5/6 of them. That means that you still have to sell 1 - 5/6 = 1/6 of the lot.

120 * (1/6) = 20 * 1 = 20 face shields to sell.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

lot = 120 face shields

sold 5/6 of 120 =

5 × 120 ÷ 6 =

600 ÷ 6 = 100 sold of the lot.

then: 120-100 = 20

They need to sell 20 protectors.
