A store owner started the day with 540 lemons. He sold
49 of the lemons and gave
25 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 45. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 4 u |
5 u |
9 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 4 u |
2 u |
3 u |
9 u |
Total number of lemons = 9 u
9 u = 540
1 u = 540 ÷ 9 = 60
Number of lemons that were left
= 3 u
= 3 x 60
= 180
Number of containers that the store owner would need
= 180 ÷ 45
= 4
