A fruit seller started the day with 540 chikoos. He sold
49 of the chikoos and gave
25 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 45. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 4 u |
5 u |
9 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 4 u |
2 u |
3 u |
9 u |
Total number of chikoos = 9 u
9 u = 540
1 u = 540 ÷ 9 = 60
Number of chikoos that were left
= 3 u
= 3 x 60
= 180
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 180 ÷ 45
= 4
Answer(s): 4
