    45 new houses ... last month 1/3 were sold ...

    1/3 (45) = 45/3 = 15 houses sold last month

    this month, 1/5 of the remaining houses were sold ...

    remaining houses left are (45 - 15) = 30

    1/5 (30) = 30/5 = 6 houses sold this month

    houses left : 45 - 15 - 6 = 45 - 21 = 24 houses remain <==
