Brandon bought some durians and repacked them into bags of 30. He had 187 such bags of durians and 4 durians left.
- How many durians did Brandon buy?
- Brandon wanted to have 189 bags of durians. How many more durians must he buy?
(a)
Number of durians that Brandon bought
= 187 x 30 + 4
= 5610 + 4
= 5614
(b)

= 5670
Number of more durians that Brandon must buy

= 56
Answer(s): (a) 5614; (b) 56
