Henry, John and Leo collected some seashells from the beach. Henry collected 11, Paul 24. If they initially collected 59 seashells in total and Leo gave a quarter of his collection to a younger kid they met, how many do they have in total now?
Step-by-step reasoning process below:
53
Henry and Paul collected a total of 11 + 24 = 35 seashells.

To make a total of 59, Leo must have collected 59 - 35 = 24 seashells.

He gave out a quarter of 24 seashells which is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6 seashells.

They are now left with 59 - 6 = 53 seashells.

.

So, the answer is 53
