A fruit seller started the day with 840 starfruits. He sold
310 of the starfruits and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 28. How many containers would he need?
Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
|
Gave away |
Rest |
|
3 u |
1 u |
6 u |
10 u |
Total number of starfruits = 10 u
10 u = 840
1 u = 840 ÷ 10 = 84
Number of starfruits that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 84
= 504
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 504 ÷ 28
= 18
Answer(s): 18
