Question 988872: Juan had a box of 48 candy bars to sell for a class fundraiser. He sold 14 of the bars on his own and his mother sold half of the remaining bars to her coworkers. If no other bars were sold, what fraction of Juana's original 48 remaining unsold? Answer by Shai(25) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 48 candy bars
14 bars sold by him
Hence remaining now (48-14)
34
His mum sold 1/2 of the remaining
Candy bars to her co workers
34/2=17
So the fraction of the candy bars unsold
17/48 :)
