Luke bought some durians and repacked them into bags of 11. He had 118 such bags of durians and 8 durians left.
- How many durians did Luke buy?
- Luke wanted to have 171 bags of durians. How many more durians must he buy?
(a)
Number of durians that Luke bought
= 118 x 11 + 8
= 1298 + 8
= 1306
(b)
Number of durians required for 11 bags
= 11 x 171
= 1881
Number of more durians that Luke must buy
= 1881 - 1306
= 575
Answer(s): (a) 1306; (b) 575
