A stallholder started the day with 630 persimmons. He sold
27 of the persimmons and gave
35 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 30. How many containers would he need?
Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
2 u |
5 u |
7 u |
|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
2 u |
3 u |
2 u |
7 u |
Total number of persimmons = 7 u
7 u = 630
1 u = 630 ÷ 7 = 90
Number of persimmons that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 90
= 180
Number of containers that the stallholder would need
= 180 ÷ 30
= 6
Answer(s): 6
