a store clerk has 600 pens in stock . he then issues 1/4 to a store . then issues another 1/6 to another store and 3/8 to the last store how much is still in stock?

Answer 1

1/4 + 1/6 + 3/8

Find the common denominator.

6/24 + 4/24 + 9/24 = 19/24

24/24 - 19/24 = 5/24

5/24 * 600 = 3,000/24 = 125
