A grocer started the day with 840 mangoes. He sold
310 of the mangoes and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 35. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
5 u |
10 u |
Total number of mangoes = 10 u
10 u = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 10 = 84
Number of mangoes that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 84
= 420
Number of boxes that the grocer would need
= 420 ÷ 35
= 12
Answer(s): 12
