Bryan starts exercising at home during quarantine. To start, he decides to do 3 sets of 15 push-ups each. Near the end of the third set, he gets tired and does 5 fewer push-ups. How many push-ups did he do in total?
In total, Bryan would have done 3 sets * 15 push-ups/set = <<3*15=45>>45 push-ups.
Subtracting the push-ups he didn't do in the third set, Bryan did 45 push-ups - 5 push-ups = <<45-5=40>>40 push-ups.
