Billy bought some honeydews and repacked them into packets of 34. He had 101 such packets of honeydews and 5 honeydews left.
- How many honeydews did Billy buy?
- Billy wanted to have 149 packets of honeydews. How many more honeydews must he buy?
(a)
Number of honeydews that Billy bought
= 101 x 34 + 5
= 3434 + 5
= 3439
(b)
Number of honeydews required for 34 packets
= 34 x 149
= 5066
Number of more honeydews that Billy must buy
= 5066 - 3439
= 1627
Answer(s): (a) 3439; (b) 1627
