A stallholder started the day with 640 starfruits. He sold
38 of the starfruits and gave
25 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 48. How many boxes would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
5 u |
8 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
2 u |
3 u |
8 u |
Total number of starfruits = 8 u
8 u = 640
1 u = 640 ÷ 8 = 80
Number of starfruits that were left
= 3 u
= 3 x 80
= 240
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 240 ÷ 48
= 5
Answer(s): 5
