Zane bought some papayas and repacked them into packets of 23. He had 137 such packets of papayas and 10 papayas left.
- How many papayas did Zane buy?
- Zane wanted to have 179 packets of papayas. How many more papayas must he buy?
(a)
Number of papayas that Zane bought
= 137 x 23 + 10
= 3151 + 10
= 3161
(b)
Number of papayas required for 23 packets
= 23 x 179
= 4117
Number of more papayas that Zane must buy
= 4117 - 3161
= 956
Answer(s): (a) 3161; (b) 956
