<PRE><B>Question 999366</B>
 Last year, after Ariel, Ollie and Eden went trick or treating, they combined all their candy together and sorted it. They found that 1/3 was chocolate candy, 1/4 was hard candy, 1/5 was candy corn and the rest were fruit chews. If they had a 180 pieces of candy total, how many pieces were fruit chews? 
---------------
Find the fractional quantity of fruit chews::
1-(1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5) = 1 - (20 + 15 + 12)/60 = 1-(47/60) = 13/60
---
Find the # of pieces of fruit chews::
Ans: (13/60)180 = 3*13 = 39 pieces of fruit chews
