Susie and Sunitha have a large coconut farm and they have harvested 1,117 coconuts in April. They sold 582 coconuts equally to 6 regular customers. How many coconuts did each customer get? Each bag can hold 25 coconuts. How many bags would be needed to pack 97 coconuts?

Correct Answer

Step 1: Total coconuts sold = 582 Step 2: Number of customers = 6 Step 3: Coconuts per customer = 582 ÷ 6 = 97

Step 4: Bags needed for 97 coconuts: 97 ÷ 25 = 3 remainder 22 Step 5: 3 bags hold 75 coconuts, 1 more bag needed for 22 remaining Step 6: Total bags = 3 + 1 = 4 bags

Answer: Each customer got 97 coconuts. They would need 4 bags to pack 97 coconuts.

Explanation

First, divide 582 by 6 to find how many coconuts each customer gets: 582 ÷ 6 = 97. For the bags: 97 ÷ 25 = 3 with remainder 22. So 3 bags hold 75 coconuts, and they need 1 more bag for the remaining 22 coconuts. Total bags needed = 4.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Total coconuts sold = 582

  2. Step 2: Number of customers = 6

  3. Step 3: Coconuts per customer = 582 ÷ 6 = 97

  4. Step 4: Bags needed for 97 coconuts: 97 ÷ 25 = 3 remainder 22

  5. Step 5: 3 bags hold 75 coconuts, 1 more bag needed for 22 remaining

  6. Step 6: Total bags = 3 + 1 = 4 bags
