Answer:
24 shamrocks had three leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Parker was picking shamrocks he picked a total of 40 shamrocks two fifths of the shamrocks had four leaves. The rest of the shamrocks had three leaves.
First of all, we will find two fifths of 40 to find number of shamrocks with four leaves.
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with four leaves}=40\times \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with four leaves}=8\times \frac{2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with four leaves}=16[/tex]
Now, we will subtract number of shamrocks with 4 leaves from total number of shamrocks to find number of shamrocks with 3 leaves as:
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with three leaves}=\text{Total shamrocks}-\text{Shamrocks with four leaves}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with three leaves}=40-16[/tex]
[tex]\text{Shamrocks with three leaves}=24[/tex]
Therefore, 24 shamrocks had three leaves.
