A stallholder started the day with 840 starfruits. He sold
27 of the starfruits and gave
35 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 48. How many containers would he need?
Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
2 u |
5 u |
7 u |
|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
2 u |
3 u |
2 u |
7 u |
Total number of starfruits = 7 u
7 u = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 7 = 120
Number of starfruits that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 120
= 240
Number of containers that the stallholder would need
= 240 ÷ 48
= 5
Answer(s): 5
