Question

there are 54 new houses built in a neighborhood. Last month, 1/3 of them were sold. This month, 5/6 of the remaining houses were sold. How many houses are left to be sold?

Answer 1

Total houses = 54

House sold last month = 1/3 * 54 = 18

Remaining houses = 54-18 = 36

Houses sold this month = 5/6* 36 = 30 houses

House left to be sold = 36 - 30 = 6 houses
