A stallholder started the day with 760 oranges. He sold
38 of the oranges and gave
35 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 38. How many containers would he need?
| Sold |
Remainder |
Total |
| 3 u |
5 u |
8 u |
| |
Gave away |
Rest |
|
| 3 u |
3 u |
2 u |
8 u |
Total number of oranges = 8 u
8 u = 760
1 u = 760 ÷ 8 = 95
Number of oranges that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 95
= 190
Number of containers that the stallholder would need
= 190 ÷ 38
= 5
