Paul bought some apples and repacked them into bags of 31. He had 199 such bags of apples and 13 apples left.
- How many apples did Paul buy?
- Paul wanted to have 237 bags of apples. How many more apples must he buy?
(a)
Number of apples that Paul bought
= 199 x 31 + 13
= 6169 + 13
= 6182
(b)
Number of apples required for 31 bags
= 31 x 237
= 7347
Number of more apples that Paul must buy
= 7347 - 6182
= 1165
Answer(s): (a) 6182; (b) 1165
