Question

2265 mobile sets are to be packed equally in 50 cartons. How many mobiles will be left out after packing all the cartons?

• A. 15
• B. 13
• C. 25
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 15

Total number of mobiles = 2265
Number of cartons = 50
So, to calculate the number of mobiles left out after packing all the cartons with equal number of mobiles, we need to divide 2265 by 50 and find the remainder.

$$\begin{array}{c}45\\ 502265\\ -\underset{–}{200}2\\ 265\\ -\underset{–}{250}\\ 15\end{array}$$Thus, we have a quotient of 45 and a remainder of 15, which means 15 mobile sets would be left out after packing.
