A grocer started the day with 600 chikoos. He sold
710 of the chikoos and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 40. How many containers 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 chikoos = 10 u
10 u = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 10 = 60
Number of chikoos that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 60
= 120
Number of containers that the grocer would need
= 120 ÷ 40
= 3
Answer(s): 3
