A stallholder started the day with 580 passion fruits. He sold
310 of the passion fruits and gave
37 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into boxes of 29. How many boxes would he need?

3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Total number of passion fruits = 10 u
10 u = 580
1 u = 580 ÷ 10 = 58
Number of passion fruits that were left
= 4 u
= 4 x 58
= 232
Number of boxes that the stallholder would need
= 232 ÷ 29
= 8
Answer(s): 8
