A store owner started the day with 800 pomegranates. He sold
710 of the pomegranates and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 40. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 7 u |
3 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 7 u |
1 u |
2 u |
10 u |
Total number of pomegranates = 10 u
10 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 10 = 80
Number of pomegranates that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 80
= 160
Number of boxes that the store owner would need
= 160 ÷ 40
= 4
Answer(s): 4
