A stallholder started the day with 700 oranges. He sold
310 of the oranges and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 50. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
5 u |
10 u |
Total number of oranges = 10 u
10 u = 700
1 u = 700 ÷ 10 = 70
Number of oranges that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 70
= 350
Number of containers that the stallholder would need
= 350 ÷ 50
= 7
Answer(s): 7
