Question

Divya has 180 stamps with her. She gives one-fifth toTara. Tara gives one-third of these stamps to Mala. How many stamps does mala get? how many are left with divya and Tara

Answer 1

mama has 12 stamps. Divya at present has 144
Tara at present has 24

Answer 2

Divya = 180

Tara = 1/5 of 180

          =1/5 * 180 = 36

Tara get 36 stamps and Divya is left with 180  - 36 = 144 stamps

Now Mala = 1/3 of Tara = 1/3 of 36

               = 1/3 * 36 = 12

Mala get 12 stamps and Tara is left with 36 - 12 = 24 stamps

Divya = 144 stamps

Tara = 24 stamps

Mala = 12 stamps
