ryan bought a box of cookies that has 30 pieces of cookies and joshua ate 1/2 of the cookies and maylene ate 1/4 of the cookies so how much amount of cookies are left for ryan?
------
Assuming maylene ate (1/4) of the remaining cookies you get:
Start:: 30 cookies
After Joshua:: 15 cookies
After Maylene:: (3/4)15 = 45/4 = 11 1/4 cookies
