Owen bought some honeydews and repacked them into bags of 39. He had 103 such bags of honeydews and 12 honeydews left.
- How many honeydews did Owen buy?
- Owen wanted to have 239 bags of honeydews. How many more honeydews must he buy?
(a)
Number of honeydews that Owen bought
= 103 x 39 + 12
= 4017 + 12
= 4029
(b)
Number of honeydews required for 39 bags
= 39 x 239
= 9321
Number of more honeydews that Owen must buy
= 9321 - 4029
= 5292
Answer(s): (a) 4029; (b) 5292
