A grocer started the day with 840 oranges. He sold
47 of the oranges and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 48. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 4 u |
3 u |
7 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 4 u |
1 u |
2 u |
7 u |
Total number of oranges = 7 u
7 u = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 7 = 120
Number of oranges that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 120
= 240
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 240 ÷ 48
= 5
Answer(s): 5
