A grocer started the day with 420 pears. He sold
47 of the pears and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 30. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 4 u |
3 u |
7 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 4 u |
1 u |
2 u |
7 u |
Total number of pears = 7 u
7 u = 420
1 u = 420 ÷ 7 = 60
Number of pears that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 60
= 120
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 120 ÷ 30
= 4
