1. 24 mutton = 30% of the total, or 24 = .3x 2. x = 24 / .3 = 80 total 3. 80 - 24 = 56 chicken 4. 56 * 3/4 = 42 sold 5. 80 - 42 = 38 5. 38 * 1/2 = 19 given away 6. 38 - 19 = 19 remaining

There are some flaws in the question: Are the mutton puffs all sold as well? |___24___| |______70%____(56 chicken puffs)__________| |___24____| |__sold___|__sold___|__sold___ _|_________ | |___24____| |____|____|____|____|_____|____| give _|____ | the chicken puff was left was 1 portion of 8. 100 percent is veiwed as 10 part If 3 parts is 24 puff then 1 part is 24 divided by 3 = 8, therefore 7 parts (chicken puff) is 8 x7 = 56. Examine the model again... There are 3 rows above. If you look at 'chicken puff' portion of the bottom and top row only... Left over is 1/8 of 56 = 7. So, 7 chicken puff remains. If the mutton puffs are sold, then the answer is 7 chicken puffs.. If the mutton puffs are not sold, then it will be 24 mutton puffs, and 7 chicken puffs. Hope that helps! Good day to you.

None cuz the dog got on the counter and ate the rest. Now we have to cope with that REAL nasty smell the dog puts out after eating curry......

You first need to figure out how many curry puffs are total. 24 is 30% of some number --> 24=.3x x= number of curry puffs= 80 Total number of curry puffs: 80 Mutton puffs: 24 Curry puffs: 80-24= 56 She sold 3/4 of the chicken so --> 56(3/4)= 42, meaning there are 14 chicken puffs 14 plus the 24 mutton puffs = 38 she gave away half of that, so 19 curry puffs should be left
