Question

Abigail sells rice to stores. She has total og 125 cavans that she plans to distribute to three stores. If she gives 1/5 of what she has to store A, can she divide the remaining equally to stores B and C? How many will store A and store B get

Answer 1

Answer:

Store A would get 25 Cavans

Store B would get 50 Cavans

Explanation:

Total of cavans is 125

Since she gives 1/5 of 125 cavans to A A would be getting 1/5 × 125 = 25

The balance would be 125 -25 = 100

If the balance is divided equally between B and C

= 100 ÷ 2

=50

Therefore,

Store A would get 25 Cavans

Store B would get 50 Cavans

Store C would get 50 Cavans
