Question: Ali had a collection of seashells. He started with 180 seashells. He then gave away 40 seashells to his friends. He also gave 30 seashells to his brothers. If he sold half of the remaining seashells, how many seashells did he have left? Is final answer 55?
Answer: When he gave 40 seashells to his friends, Ali had 180-40= <<180-40=140>>140 seashells.
When he gave another 30 seashells to his brothers, he had 140-30 = <<140-30=110>>110 seashells
He also sold half of the seashells, a total of 1/2*110 = <<55=55>>55 seashells
He was left with 110-55= <<110-55=55>>55 seashells
#### 55
