A store owner started the day with 820 apples. He sold
310 of the apples and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 41. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
1 u |
6 u |
10 u |
Total number of apples = 10 u
10 u = 820
1 u = 820 ÷ 10 = 82
Number of apples that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 82
= 492
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 492 ÷ 41
= 12
Answer(s): 12
