(c) Abraham has a box of 72 biscuits.
He gives 2/9 of the biscuits to his grandmother.
He then gives 3/7 of the biscuits that are left to his cousin.
Work out how many biscuits Abraham has now.

Respuesta :

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Biscuits at the start : 72

Number of biscuits given to his grandmother : 2/9 of 72

> 2/9 × 72

> 16

16 biscuits were given to his grandmother

Number of biscuits left now : 72 - 16

= 56

Number of biscuits given to his cousin : 3/7 of 56

> 3/7 × 56

> 24

Number of biscuits Abraham has now : 56 - 24

= 32
