Alfie has lots of chocolates left over from Christmas time.
He counts up his sweet treats and has 72 chocolates left.
Alfie decides to share with his friends and gives the following away:
25% of the chocolates to Ava
1/6 of the chocolates to India
How many chocolates does Alfie have left after sharing with his friends.
Answer:
First you find 25% of 72 by dividing it by 4 to get 18 chocolates.
Then to find 1/6 of 72 you do 72 x 1/6 which equals 12.
This means Alfie gave away 30 of his chocolates and has 42 sweet treats left!
