A grocer started the day with 900 persimmons. He sold
310 of the persimmons and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 45. How many containers 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 persimmons = 10 u
10 u = 900
1 u = 900 ÷ 10 = 90
Number of persimmons that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 90
= 540
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 540 ÷ 45
= 12
Answer(s): 12
