Connor works at Jeans and Things, which sells 8 different sizes of boys' Levis. His job is to keep the shelves stocked. The display of boys' Levis should have 10 pairs on it at the beginning of the day. After a sale on Monday, only three-fifths of the jeans were left on the display. How many pairs of jeans will Connor have to replace on the display?

Hello Salman,
Since 3/5 (three-fifths) of 10 is 6, that means we have to find a number to subtract from 10 to get 6.
10 - 4 = 6, so that means that Connor will have to replace 4 pairs of jeans on the display.
