percentage

Adam, Ben, Cathy and Dana share some lollies. First Adam takes 3/5 of the lollies, then Ben takes 1/4 of the remainder, and then Cath takes1/3 of what is left. Dana gets all the rest. What fraction of the original number of lollies does Dana get ???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Adam takes 3/5 of them there are 2/5 left

Ben takes 1/4 of these, so that means that there are (3/4)(2/5) left = 6/20 = 3/10 left

Cath takes 1/3 of these, so there are (2/3)(3/10) l= 2/10  left for Dana

Check

Adam gets 3/5 = 6/10

Ben gets (1/4)(2/5)  = 1/10

Cath  gets (1/3)(3/10)  = 1/10

Dana gets 2/10

And these all sum to 1
