Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of new houses  = 60

Number of houses sold last month = (1/4) of 60

                                                          [tex]= \frac{1}{4}*60[/tex]

                                                          = 15

Remaining houses  = 60 - 15 = 45

Number of houses sold this month = (1/5) of 45

                                                          [tex]=\frac{1}{5}*45\\\\= 9[/tex]

Number of houses that are left = 45 - 9 = 36
