Each day, Robert eats 40% of the pistachios left in his jar at that time. At the end of the second
day, 27 pistachios remain. How many pistachios
were in the jar at the start of the first day?

At the beginning of the first day there were 75 pistachios in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each day, Robert eats 40% of the pistachios left in his jar at that time, and at the end of the second day, 27 pistachios remain, to determine how many pistachios were in the jar at the start of the first day you must perform the following calculations:

100 - 40 = 60

60 = 27

100 = X

100 x 27/60 = X

2700/60 = X

45 = X

60 = 45

100 = X

100 x 45/60 = X

4500/60 = X

75 = X

Therefore, at the beginning of the first day there were 75 pistachios in the jar.

-14 is the answer

hope this : ))
