Jenson bought some durians and repacked them into bags of 12. He had 186 such bags of durians and 6 durians left.
- How many durians did Jenson buy?
- Jenson wanted to have 207 bags of durians. How many more durians must he buy?
(a)
Number of durians that Jenson bought
= 186 x 12 + 6
= 2232 + 6
= 2238
(b)
Number of durians required for 12 bags
= 12 x 207
= 2484
Number of more durians that Jenson must buy
= 2484 - 2238
= 246
Answer(s): (a) 2238; (b) 246
