A stallholder started the day with 450 pomegranates. He sold
310 of the pomegranates and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 30. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |

| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |

| 3 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of pomegranates = 10 u
10 u = 450
1 u = 450 ÷ 10 = 45
Number of pomegranates that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 45
= 180
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 180 ÷ 30
= 6
Answer(s): 6
