A fruit seller started the day with 520 kiwis. He sold
25 of the kiwis and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 26. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 2 u |
3 u |
5 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 2 u |
1 u |
2 u |
5 u |
Total number of kiwis = 5 u
5 u = 520
1 u = 520 ÷ 5 = 104
Number of kiwis that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 104
= 208
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 208 ÷ 26
= 8
Answer(s): 8
