Victoria has a 2-pound package of flour. she uses 2/5 of the flour to make a pizza. She then uses 3/10 of the remaining flour to make bread. Find the weight of the package of flour that she has left. Express your answer in decimal

2 - 2(.4) - .3*2(.6) = ?

To find the weight of the package of flour that Victoria has left, we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the initial weight of the package, which is 2 pounds.
2. Calculate how much flour Victoria used to make the pizza by multiplying the initial weight (2 pounds) by the fraction used, which is 2/5: 2 * (2/5) = 4/5 pound.
3. Subtract the weight of flour used to make the pizza from the initial weight to find the remaining flour: 2 pounds - (4/5) pound = (10/10) pound - (4/5) pound = 6/5 pound.
4. Calculate how much flour Victoria used to make the bread by multiplying the remaining flour (6/5 pound) by the fraction used, which is 3/10: (6/5) * (3/10) = 18/50 pound.
5. Subtract the weight of flour used to make the bread from the remaining flour to find the final weight: (6/5) pound - (18/50) pound = 30/25 pound - 18/50 pound = 60/50 - 18/50 = 42/50 pound.

Therefore, the weight of the package of flour that Victoria has left is 42/50 pound, which can be simplified to 21/25 pound or 0.84 pound when expressed as a decimal.
