A stallholder started the day with 390 mangoes. He sold
310 of the mangoes and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 26. How many boxes would he need?
Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
3 u |
1 u |
6 u |
10 u |
Total number of mangoes = 10 u
10 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 10 = 39
Number of mangoes that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 39
= 234
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 234 ÷ 26
= 9
Answer(s): 9
