Ryan bought some durians and repacked them into packets of 24. He had 151 such packets of durians and 3 durians left.
- How many durians did Ryan buy?
- Ryan wanted to have 200 packets of durians. How many more durians must he buy?
(a)
Number of durians that Ryan bought
= 151 x 24 + 3
= 3624 + 3
= 3627
(b)
Number of durians required for 24 packets
= 24 x 200
= 4800
Number of more durians that Ryan must buy
= 4800 - 3627
= 1173
Answer(s): (a) 3627; (b) 1173
