A fruit seller started the day with 770 starfruits. He sold
310 of the starfruits and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 44. How many boxes would he need?

3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of starfruits = 10 u
10 u = 770
1 u = 770 ÷ 10 = 77
Number of starfruits that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 77
= 308
Number of boxes that the fruit seller would need
= 308 ÷ 44
= 7
