A: After the first hour of work, he has distributed newspapers to 2/5*200 = <<2/5*200=80>>80 homes
The number of homes that still need newspapers is 200-80 = <<200-80=120>>120
Two hours later, the number of homes he has distributed newspapers to is 60/100 * 120 = <<60/100*120=72>>72 homes.
The number of homes he still needs to distribute newspapers to is 120-72 = <<120-72=48>>48 homes The answer is  48.
