My question is: In Mr. Bolton's class of 25 students, 2/5 of the students like maths, 1/3 of the remaining students like science, and the rest of the students like history. Calculate the combined total number of students who like history and those who like maths. Your thoughts:

If there are 25 students in the class, then 2 / 5 * 25 = 10 students like maths. The number of students who don't like math is 25 - 10 = 15 students. If 1 / 3 of the students that don't like math like science, then 1 / 3 * 15 = 5 students like science. The remaining number of students who enjoy history is 15 - 5 = 10. The combined total for the students who want history and maths is 10 + 10 = 20. The final answer: 20.
