Chris bought a package of loose leaf paper that contained 500 sheets. In the first week, he used 1/5 of the paper. ... He then used 2/5 of remaining paper ...
1/5 of 500 is 100. 500 - 100 leaves 400 sheets of paper. to find 2/5 of the remaining 400 sheets divide 400/5 then multiply by 2 400/5= 80 x 2 = 160 sheets which is 2/5 of the remaining 400.
