Question

Bridget has a bag of skittles that is 3/4 full. If she eats 2/5 of the remaining skittles, how much of the bag did she eat?

Answer 1

Bridget eats
`(x)/(10)` of the Skittles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of skittles = x

If the bag has
`(3)/(4)x` of the skittles

Then the skittles remaining =
`x - (3)/(4)x`

=
`(x)/(4)`

Amount that Bridget eats =
`(2)/(5) X (x)/(4)`

=
`(x)/(10)`

Therefore, Bridget eats
`(x)/(10)` of the Skittles
