Question

Half of the name tags were given out to students and a 100 nametags were given out to parents. 3/5 of the remaining name tags are given out to teachers and contest judges. How many main types were not given out?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tags not given out=(k/5)-40

Step-by-step explanation:

k is tag

Tags k given to student are half = k/2

Tags given to parents are= 100

Total tags given to students and parents are=(k/2)+100

So remaining tags are=k-(k/2+100)

                                    =(k-200)/2

tags given to judges and teacher are 3/5 of remaining tags =(3/5)*((k-200)/2)

So tags not given out are =(2/5)*((k-200)/2)

                                           =(k/5)-40 Answer
