Question 276139
Bob is trying to borrow $1000 from friends. One of every 3 friends asked responds that their money is tied up. Of his friends with money not tied up, 2 out of 5 inform him quickly that they won't lend him money. Of the remainder, 1 out 2 won't lend him money on general principles. If Bob called 60 friends, how many might lend him money?
----------------------------------
1 of every 3 = 20::::::40 remain
2 of 5 of the 40 remaining = 16:::: 24 remain
1 of 2 of the remaining = 12::::12 will lend him money
