Neave bought some pineapples and repacked them into packets of 26. He had 116 such packets of pineapples and 3 pineapples left.
- How many pineapples did Neave buy?
- Neave wanted to have 204 packets of pineapples. How many more pineapples must he buy?
(a)
Number of pineapples that Neave bought
= 116 x 26 + 3
= 3016 + 3
= 3019
(b)
Number of pineapples required for 26 packets
= 26 x 204
= 5304
Number of more pineapples that Neave must buy
= 5304 - 3019
= 2285
Answer(s): (a) 3019; (b) 2285
