A store owner started the day with 770 oranges. He sold
25 of the oranges and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 28. How many boxes 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 oranges = 5 u
5 u = 770
1 u = 770 ÷ 5 = 154
Number of oranges that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 154
= 308
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 308 ÷ 28
= 11
Answer(s): 11
