A fruit seller started the day with 720 kiwis. He sold
310 of the kiwis and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 48. How many containers would he need?

3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of kiwis = 10 u
10 u = 720
1 u = 720 ÷ 10 = 72
Number of kiwis that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 72
= 288
Number of containers that the fruit seller would need
= 288 ÷ 48
= 6
