A store owner started the day with 660 apples. He sold
310 of the apples and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 33. How many boxes 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 apples = 10 u
10 u = 660
1 u = 660 ÷ 10 = 66
Number of apples that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 66
= 264
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 264 ÷ 33
= 8
Answer(s): 8
