A grocer started the day with 750 mangosteens. He sold
310 of the mangosteens and gave
17 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 25. 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 mangosteens = 10 u
10 u = 750
1 u = 750 ÷ 10 = 75
Number of mangosteens that were left
= 6 u
= 6 x 75
= 450
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 450 ÷ 25
= 18
Answer(s): 18
