    There would only be 3 oz of the box left.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to find this, subtract the two amounts eaten from 1 whole box.

    1 - 3/10 - 3/5. = Leftover

    Now give them all common denominators and perform the indicated operations.

    10/10 - 3/10 - 6/10 = Leftover

    1/10 = Leftover.

    Now that we have the percentage left, we multiply it by the amount in the whole box.

    1/10 * 30 = 3oz
