A stallholder started the day with 880 apples. He sold
38 of the apples and gave
25 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 30. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
5 u |
8 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
3 u |
8 u |
Total number of apples = 8 u
8 u = 880
1 u = 880 ÷ 8 = 110
Number of apples that were left
= 3 u
= 3 x 110
= 330
Number of containers that the stallholder would need
= 330 ÷ 30
= 11
Answer(s): 11
