Question

Tyler got a pack of gum in his stocking this year. The pack had 15 pieces of gum in it. So far, he has eaten 40% of the gum. How many pieces does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer: 40 percent of 15 is 6. If that is how many he has eaten then subtract that from 15. So 15-6 is 9. That means Tyler has 9 pieces of gum left.

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

15/100=0.15

0.15x40=6

15-6=9
