A fruit seller started the day with 420 kiwis. He sold
27 of the kiwis and gave
15 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 40. How many boxes would he need?

|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
2 u |
1 u |
4 u |
7 u |
Total number of kiwis = 7 u
7 u = 420
1 u = 420 ÷ 7 = 60
Number of kiwis that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 60
= 240
Number of boxes that the fruit seller would need
= 240 ÷ 40
= 6
Answer(s): 6
