A grocer started the day with 840 mangoes. He sold
310 of the mangoes and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 35. How many containers 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 = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 10 = 84
Number of mangoes that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 84
= 420
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 420 ÷ 35
= 12
Answer(s): 12
