A. 33 1/3 First, find the percent sold to each buyer: 1/2 = 50% 1/6 = 16 2/3% Then, add these figures to find the total percent of the company that was sold (x): x = 50% + 16 2/3% x = 50% + 16% = 2/3% x = 66 2/3% Then, subtract from 100% to find the percent left (y): y = 100% = 66 2/3% y = 100% - (66% + 2/3%) y = 100% - 66% - 2/3% y = 34% - 2/3%
