A grocer started the day with 490 persimmons. He sold
37 of the persimmons and gave
14 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 35. How many boxes would he need?
Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
3 u |
4 u |
7 u |
|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
3 u |
1 u |
3 u |
7 u |
Total number of persimmons = 7 u
7 u = 490
1 u = 490 ÷ 7 = 70
Number of persimmons that were left
= 3 u
= 3 x 70
= 210
Number of boxes that the grocer would need
= 210 ÷ 35
= 6
Answer(s): 6
