So, last month 2/3 of the 60 houses were sold that means, \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \times 60=40\] We need to find out how many houses were sold this month. The total amount of houses is 60, and houses sold that month was 40. \[60-40=20\] Now 2/5 of the remaining houses were sold. \[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \times 20=8\] Now add the houses sold last month and this month, \[40+8=48\] Now subtract the total houses sold from the initial total, \[60-48=12\] Therefore the answer is 12.
