Harry had 504 shortbreads in his bakery. He gave 369 shortbreads to the children. Then he arranged the remaining shortbreads equally into containers of 5.
- How many containers were there?
- If each container was sold at $6, how much money did he collect?

= 27 x 6
= $162
Answer(s): (a) 27; (b) $162
