Answer 1

Answer:

18 candies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Juwan collects 36 pieces of candy while trick-or-treating.

He eats one-third of them and gives a fourth of whats left away.

Question asked:

How many candies does he still have?

Solution:

Total candies collected by Juwan = 36

Candies eaten by Juwan = $\frac{1}{3} \ of \ 36=\frac{1}{3} \times36=12\ candies$

Remaining candies = 36 - 12 = 24

Candies given by her = $\frac{1}{4}\ of\ 24= \frac{1}{4}\times24=6\ candies$

Remaining candies = 24 - 6 = 18 Candies.

Thus, he still have 18 candies.
