A grocer started the day with 860 chikoos. He sold
25 of the chikoos and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 43. 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 chikoos = 5 u
5 u = 860
1 u = 860 ÷ 5 = 172
Number of chikoos that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 172
= 344
Number of boxes that the grocer would need
= 344 ÷ 43
= 8
Answer(s): 8
