A store owner started the day with 500 persimmons. He sold
310 of the persimmons and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 50. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
5 u |
10 u |
Total number of persimmons = 10 u
10 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 10 = 50
Number of persimmons that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 50
= 250
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 250 ÷ 50
= 5
Answer(s): 5
