A grocer started the day with 540 starfruits. He sold
310 of the starfruits and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 36. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
7 u |
10 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of starfruits = 10 u
10 u = 540
1 u = 540 ÷ 10 = 54
Number of starfruits that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 54
= 216
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 216 ÷ 36
= 6
Answer(s): 6
