A stallholder started the day with 430 passion fruits. He sold
25 of the passion fruits and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 43. How many boxes 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 passion fruits = 5 u
5 u = 430
1 u = 430 ÷ 5 = 86
Number of passion fruits that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 86
= 172
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 172 ÷ 43
= 4
