Question

I bought a box of chocolates. My elder son ate 5 % of the chocolates from the box. My younger son ate 20 % of the remaining chocolates from the box. What percentage of chocolates were left in the box?

Answer 1

Elder son ate 5% of chocolates So 95% were left. Younger son ate 20 % of 95% remaining He ate (20/100) of 95% = 0.2 of 95% = 19% So remaining now is 95%-19% = 76% Answer: 76%
