Question

If I sell four-fifth of 10 apples, how many are left?

• A. $5$
• B. $4$
• C. $8$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$2$

$\text{Four-fifths of 10}=\frac{4}{5}\times 10$

$=\frac{4\times 10}{5}$

$=8\text{apples}$

So, four-fifths of 10 apples is 8 apples,
i.e., 8 apples were sold

Therefore,
Apples left = Total number of apples - Number of apples sold
= 10 - 8 = 2 apples
