A store owner started the day with 810 pears. He sold
25 of the pears and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 36. How many containers would he need?

Remainder |
Total |
2 u |
3 u |
5 u |

Gave away |
Rest |
|
2 u |
1 u |
2 u |
5 u |
Total number of pears = 5 u
5 u = 810
1 u = 810 ÷ 5 = 162
Number of pears that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 162
= 324
Number of containers that the store owner would need
= 324 ÷ 36
= 9
Answer(s): 9
