Anthony has 16 pets. This morning he forgot to lock the door and he lost 6 pets. After that 1/5 of his pets died from old age. How many pets does he have left?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Anthony lost 6 pets, so he has 16 - 6 = 10 pets left. Then 1 / 5 * 10 = 2 died from old age. So, Anthony now has 10 - 2 = 8 pets.
Thus, the answer is 8.
