A store owner bought 240 cartons of eggs. The owner sold 5/8 of the eggs and set aside 5 cartons. How many cartons of eggs did the owner have left to sale?

If the owner sold 5/8 of the eggs, they have 1 - 5/8 left.

1 = 8/8, so we have 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8 left

3/8 (240 cartons) = 90 cartons remaining

The owner set aside 5 cartons.

We're left with 90 cartons - 5 cartons = 85 cartons
