Michael bought some papayas and repacked them into packets of 25. He had 132 such packets of papayas and 2 papayas left.
- How many papayas did Michael buy?
- Michael wanted to have 228 packets of papayas. How many more papayas must he buy?
(a)
Number of papayas that Michael bought
= 132 x 25 + 2
= 3300 + 2
= 3302
(b)
Number of papayas required for 25 packets
= 25 x 228
= 5700
Number of more papayas that Michael must buy
= 5700 - 3302
= 2398
Answer(s): (a) 3302; (b) 2398
