Question

Jim had 360 stamps he sold 1/3 of them on Monday and 1/4 of the remainder on Tuesday how many stamps did he sell on Tuesday

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Since Jim sold 1/3 of his stamps on Monday, the remainder would be 2/3 of his total stamps.

Divide 360 stamps by 3. Minus the stamps sold on Monday from 360 to get the remainder.

stamps sold on Monday = 360 ÷ 3 = 120

remainder = 360 - 120 = 240

He sold 1/4 of the remainder on Tuesday.

Divide the remainder by 4.

stamps sold on Tuesday = 240 ÷ 4 = 60

He sold 60 stamps on Tuesday.
