How many coins are left

-

Jack has a jar of coins. He counts them and finds that he has 240 coins in total. One day, his younger brother takes one-third of the coins to play with. Later, Jack gives one-fourth of the remaining coins to his friend.

How many coins does Jack have left in the jar after these two events?

    Step 1: Calculate the coins taken by his younger brother.
    His brother takes one-third of the coins:
    1/3 × 240 = 80 coins

    Coins left after his brother takes some:
    240 - 80 = 160 coins

    Step 2: Calculate the coins given to his friend.
    Jack gives one-fourth of the remaining coins to his friend:
    1/4 × 160 = 40 coins

    Coins left after giving some to his friend:
    160 - 40 = 120 coins

    Final Answer:
    Jack has 120 coins left in the jar.
