Luis had 553 scones in his bakery. He gave 388 scones to the children. Then he arranged the remaining scones equally into containers of 5.
- How many containers were there?
- If each container was sold at $9, how much money did he collect?
(a)
Number of remaining scones
= 553 - 388
= 165
Number of containers with 5 scones
= 165 ÷ 5
= 33
(b)
Amount that the Luis collected
= 33 x 9
= $297
Answer(s): (a) 33; (b) $297
