Answer:
Dracula will be left with 24 candies
Step-by-step explanation:
The given problem is of fractions and percentages.
Given that
Total pieces of candy = 48
Now as it is mentioned that Dracula gives 1/3 of his candies to his friend, wee have to find the one third of the total pieces of candies first.
[tex]one-third\ of\ candies = \frac{1}{3} * 48\\= 16[/tex]
Dracula will be left with:
[tex]Candies\ left = Total\ candies - one\ third\ of\ candies\\= 48-16 = 32[/tex]
Dracula will be left with 32 candies after giving one third to his friend.
Now he gives 25% of remaining to his cousin
So,
[tex]25\%\ of\ 32\\= \frac{25}{100}*32\\=8[/tex]
Dracula will be left with: 32-8 = 24 candies
Hence,
Dracula will be left with 24 candies
