A stallholder started the day with 690 mangoes. He sold
310 of the mangoes and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 46. How many boxes would he need?

3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of mangoes = 10 u
10 u = 690
1 u = 690 ÷ 10 = 69
Number of mangoes that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 69
= 276
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 276 ÷ 46
= 6
Answer(s): 6
