A grocer started the day with 900 oranges. He sold
310 of the oranges and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 36. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of oranges = 10 u
10 u = 900
1 u = 900 ÷ 10 = 90
Number of oranges that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 90
= 360
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 360 ÷ 36
= 10
Answer(s): 10
