[Question]Forest and his friends have prepared a birthday cake for their friend Juelz having 240 cake pieces. After singing the birthday song, they ate 60% of the cake's pieces, and later, Juelz divided the remaining pieces among his three sisters. What is the number of pieces of cake each sister received?
[Answer]If they ate 60% of the pieces of cake, the friends ate 60 / 100 * 240 pieces = 144 pieces of the cake. The total number of pieces remaining is 240 pieces - 144 pieces = 96 pieces. When Juelz divided the remaining pieces of cake to his sisters, each sister received 96 pieces / 3 sisters = 32 pieces / sister. The answer is 32.
