There are 32 peanuts in a bag. Elliott take 25% of the peanuts from the bag. Then Zaire takes 50% of the remaining peanuts, How many peanuts are left in the bag?

Verified Answer :

First we have to find 25% of 32.
25% of 32 its 0.25*32=8
Now we have to subtract 32 and 8
32-8=24
Now we have to find 50% of 24
50% of 24=12
24-12=12- its the answer

Answer:

\(12\ peanuts\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The original total peanuts in a bag are \(32\)

Step 1

Elliott take \(25\%\) of the peanuts from the bag

so

the number of peanuts left in a bag are

\((1-0.25)*32=24\ peanuts\)

Step 2

Zaire takes \(50\%\) of the remaining peanuts  

so

the number of peanuts left in a bag are

\((1-0.5)*24=12\ peanuts\)
