Tom bought some honeydews and repacked them into bags of 27. He had 145 such bags of honeydews and 12 honeydews left.
- How many honeydews did Tom buy?
- Tom wanted to have 185 bags of honeydews. How many more honeydews must he buy?
(a)
Number of honeydews that Tom bought
= 145 x 27 + 12
= 3915 + 12
= 3927
(b)
Number of honeydews required for 27 bags
= 27 x 185
= 4995
Number of more honeydews that Tom must buy
= 4995 - 3927
= 1068
Answer(s): (a) 3927; (b) 1068
