Answer on Question #42656 – Math - Other

A chef prepares 640 cocktail sausage for a party. Unfortunately an escaped dog snatches 3/8 of them and runs off! How many sausages were left?

Solution.

An escaped dog snatches 3/8 of cocktail sausages, so $1 - 3/8 = 5/8$ were left. Find the number of sausages:

$$640 \cdot \frac{5}{8} = 400$$

Answer: 400 sausages were left.
