They pack the remaining coconuts for drying and extracting oil. They can pack 25 coconuts in each bag. How many bags will they need to pack the remaining coconuts?
Given: Total coconuts = 1117 Coconuts sold = 582
Step 1: Find remaining coconuts. Remaining coconuts = 1117 - 582 = 535
Step 2: Calculate bags needed. 535 ÷ 25 = 21 remainder 10
Step 3: Determine total bags. 21 full bags hold 525 coconuts. 1 more bag is needed for the remaining 10 coconuts. Total bags = 21 + 1 = 22 bags
Answer: They need 22 bags to pack the remaining coconuts.
Explanation
First, find the remaining coconuts: 1117 - 582 = 535. Then divide by 25: 535 ÷ 25 = 21 with remainder 10. So they need 21 full bags for 525 coconuts and 1 more bag for the remaining 10 coconuts. Total = 22 bags.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Total coconuts = 1117
Step 2: Coconuts sold = 582
Step 3: Remaining coconuts = 1117 - 582 = 535
Step 4: Bags needed = 535 ÷ 25 = 21 remainder 10
Step 5: 21 full bags hold 525 coconuts, 1 more bag for 10 remaining
Step 6: Total bags = 21 + 1 = 22 bags
