A store owner started the day with 390 starfruits. He sold
25 of the starfruits and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 39. 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 starfruits = 5 u
5 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 5 = 78
Number of starfruits that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 78
= 156
Number of containers that the store owner would need
= 156 ÷ 39
= 4
Answer(s): 4
