A fruit seller started the day with 490 apples. He sold
310 of the apples and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 28. How many containers would he need?

| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |

Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of apples = 10 u
10 u = 490
1 u = 490 ÷ 10 = 49
Number of apples that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 49
= 196
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 196 ÷ 28
= 7
