Question

a game store have 420 popsicles they were trying to sell. they sold three fifth at normal price then they sold one half of the popsicles that were left at a discount how many popsicles did they have left after selling the discount ones

Answer 1

Hi there! A game store first started out with 420 Popsicles and 3/5 of them were sold. That's 60% of the Popsicles, which leaves 40% of them remaining. To find the popsicles that remain, multiply 420 by 40% (0.4). When you do, you get 168. After that, 1/2 (50%) of those 168 Popsicles were sold at a discount price. To find this, all you have to do is divide by 2. 168/2 is 84. After selling them for a discount, there were 84 Popsicles left.
