Answer:
36 runners finished the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped, so we need to calculate 1/4 of 80:
(1/4) * 80 = 80/4 = 20
If 20 runners dropped out, now we have 80 - 20 = 60 runners.
Then, in the second half, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out, so:
(2/5) * 60 = 2*60/5 = 120/5 = 24
If 24 runners dropped out, now we have 60 - 24 = 36 runners.
So, 36 runners finished the race.
Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.
The answer of this is gonna be 7
