A store owner started the day with 560 mangosteens. He sold
25 of the mangosteens and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 32. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 2 u |
3 u |
5 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 2 u |
1 u |
2 u |
5 u |
Total number of mangosteens = 5 u
5 u = 560
1 u = 560 ÷ 5 = 112
Number of mangosteens that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 112
= 224
Number of containers that the store owner would need
= 224 ÷ 32
= 7
Answer(s): 7
