A store owner started the day with 720 oranges. He sold
38 of the oranges and gave
35 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 45. How many boxes would he need?

Total |
| 3 u |
5 u |
8 u |

Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
3 u |
2 u |
8 u |
Total number of oranges = 8 u
8 u = 720
1 u = 720 ÷ 8 = 90
Number of oranges that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 90
= 180
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 180 ÷ 45
= 4
