Question

Sanjay let me finish his box of mints.

He had eaten 5/8 of them

If 36 mints were left for me, how many had
Sanjay eaten?

Answer 1

Sanjay had eaten 60 mints.

Explanation:

Given 5/8th part had eaten by Sanjay

then 3/8th part is left which equals to 36 mints

If 3/8 = 36,the 1/8 = 12

then 5/8 = 12 × 5

=60.
