Question

The Smiths are sending out a batch of holiday cards. Emily signed 2/5 of the cards. Then Josh signed 1/9 of the remaining cards. Tatiana signed 20% of what Josh had left. If there were 75 cards in all, how many cards are left to be signed?

There are ____ cards yet to be signed.

Answer 1

Okay.

2/5 of 75 = 30. That leaves 45 cards

1/9 of 45 = 5 cards, that leaves 40

Calculate 20% of 40, that is 8 cards.

Last subtraction is up to you.

No... 20% of 80 is 16. I think you just made a simple calculation error. So now do 40-16.
