Answer:

39 DVDs

Step-by-step explanation:

45% of 260

45/100 ×260

117 DVDs of science

40% of 260

40/100 × 260

104 DVDs of history

So from total subjects science and history

260 - (104+117)

260 - 221

39 DVDs of other subjects

In an easiest way 40 + 45

85% of science and history

So 15 % of other subjects

15/100 × 260

39 DVDs

Answer:

There are 39 dvds of other subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

science= 45% of 260

$=\frac{45}{100}*260=9*13=117\\\\History=\frac{40}{100}*260=104\\\\\\Othersubjects=260-(117+104)=260-221=39$

OR

100 - (45+40)= 100- 85 = 15%

Other subjects = 15% of 260

$=\frac{15}{100}*260=3*13=39$
