A fruit seller started the day with 430 lemons. He sold
310 of the lemons and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 43. 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 lemons = 10 u
10 u = 430
1 u = 430 ÷ 10 = 43
Number of lemons that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 43
= 258
Number of boxes that the fruit seller would need
= 258 ÷ 43
= 6
Answer(s): 6
