A fruit seller started the day with 480 oranges. He sold
38 of the oranges and gave
15 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 |
1 u |
4 u |
8 u |
Total number of oranges = 8 u
8 u = 480
1 u = 480 ÷ 8 = 60
Number of oranges that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 60
= 240
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 240 ÷ 30
= 8
Answer(s): 8
