A fruit seller started the day with 900 chikoos. He sold
310 of the chikoos and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 40. How many boxes would he need?

| 3 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of chikoos = 10 u
10 u = 900
1 u = 900 ÷ 10 = 90
Number of chikoos that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 90
= 360
Number of boxes that the fruit seller would need
= 360 ÷ 40
= 9
Answer(s): 9
