<br />
Jack had a bag of <math>128</math> apples. He sold <math>25\% </math> of them to Jill. Next he sold <math>25\% </math> of those remaining to June. Of those apples still in his bag, he gave the shiniest one to his teacher. How many apples did Jack have then?<br />
<br />
<math>\text{(A)}\ 7 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 63 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 65 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 71 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 111</math><br />
<br />
==Solution==<br />
<br />
First he gives <math>128\times .25 = 32</math> apples to Jill, so he has <math>128-32=96</math> apples left. Then he gives <math>96\times .25 = 24</math> apples to June, so he has <math>96-24=72</math> left.<br />
<br />
Finally, he gives one to the teacher, leaving <math>71\rightarrow \boxed{\text{D}}</math><br />
