A fruit seller started the day with 840 chikoos. He sold
38 of the chikoos and gave
15 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 28. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
5 u |
8 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
1 u |
4 u |
8 u |
Total number of chikoos = 8 u
8 u = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 8 = 105
Number of chikoos that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 105
= 420
Number of boxes that the fruit seller would need
= 420 ÷ 28
= 15
Answer(s): 15
