Naara won a bag of candy ata raffle.She gave one fifth of the candy to her brother,one fourth of it to her best friend,and had 11 pieces left over. How many pieces did she give her brother?
To find out how many pieces of candy Naara gave her brother, you can follow these steps:
1. Let's assume the total number of pieces Naara won in the raffle is 'x'.
2. Naara gave one-fifth of the candy to her brother. So the number of pieces she gave to her brother is (1/5) * x.
3. Naara also gave one-fourth of the candy to her best friend. So, the number of pieces she gave to her best friend is (1/4) * x.
4. Naara had 11 pieces left over. This means she gave away a total of (1/5) * x + (1/4) * x + 11 pieces.
5. We can express this as an equation: (1/5) * x + (1/4) * x + 11 = x.
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x.
