A store owner started the day with 700 pears. He sold
310 of the pears and gave
27 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 25. How many boxes 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 pears = 10 u
10 u = 700
1 u = 700 ÷ 10 = 70
Number of pears that were left
= 5 u
= 5 x 70
= 350
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 350 ÷ 25
= 14
Answer(s): 14
