A stallholder started the day with 800 apples. He sold
25 of the apples and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 32. 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 apples = 5 u
5 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 5 = 160
Number of apples that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 160
= 320
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 320 ÷ 32
= 10
Answer(s): 10
