Oscar bought some apples and repacked them into packets of 30. He had 152 such packets of apples and 5 apples left.
- How many apples did Oscar buy?
- Oscar wanted to have 196 packets of apples. How many more apples must he buy?
(a)
Number of apples that Oscar bought
= 152 x 30 + 5
= 4560 + 5
= 4565
(b)
Number of apples required for 30 packets
= 30 x 196
= 5880
Number of more apples that Oscar must buy
= 5880 - 4565
= 1315
Answer(s): (a) 4565; (b) 1315
