A stallholder started the day with 500 mangoes. He sold
310 of the mangoes and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 50. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
5 u |
10 u |
Total number of mangoes = 10 u
10 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 10 = 50
Number of mangoes that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 50
= 250
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 250 ÷ 50
= 5
Answer(s): 5
