Reggie had to type 90 letters. During the first day he typed 1/3 of the letters, and during the second day he typed 2/5 of the remaining letters. How many letters were still untyped at the end of the second day?
(A) 36 (B) 32 (C) 24 (D) 18 (E) 12
Here,
On first day, Reggie typed = \(\frac{1}{3} * 90 = 30\) letters and remaining letters = \(90 - 30 = 60\)
On 2nd day, Reggie typed \(\frac{2}{5}\) of the remaining =\(\frac{ 2}{5} * 60 = 24\)
Letters un-typed at the end of second day = \(90 - ( 30 + 24) = 36\)
