To find out how many toffees are left after David ate 1/3 of them, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total number of toffees in one dozen.
We know that one dozen is equal to 12. So, David bought 12 toffees.
Step 2: Calculate how many toffees David ate.
David ate 1/3 of the toffees. To find this, we will take 1/3 of the total number of toffees:
1/3 * 12 = 12/3 = 4
Step 3: Calculate how many toffees are left.
To find out the remaining toffees, we'll subtract the number of toffees David ate from the total number of toffees:
12 (total toffees) - 4 (toffees David ate) = 8
So, there are 8 toffees left after David ate 1/3 of them.
