The local high school had 1,000 bottles of water on hand. The school issued 4
the supply to the 9th grade, ş of the supply to the 10th grade, and 3 of the supply
to the 11th grade. How many bottles remained for the 12th grade?


Sagot :

Answer:  the 12th graders get 150 bottles

how did i get 150?:

we know the total amount is 1,000 bottles of water

since 9th graders got 1/4 of the bottles. 1/4 of 1,000 is 250

10th graders: 1/5 of 1,000 is 200

11th graders: 2/5 of 1,000 is 400

now we ADD all of the sums together: 250+200+400 (doesnt matter which order but do go in order to not confuse yourself) the total should be 850.

FINALLY we subtract 1,000 - 850 = 150 bottles that are left for the 12th graders.
