Question

4598 pounds of flour need to be put into 100 bags. How many pounds will be left behind after all the flour is packed?

• A. 98
• B. 42
• C. 45
• D. 43

Answer 1

The correct option is A 98

Total weight of flour = 4598 pounds
Number of bags = 100
Weight of flour in each bag = $4598÷100$

When we divide by 100, the digits in the ones and tens places will be the remainder and the remaining digits will be the quotient.
So, the remainder will be 98.

Therefore, 98 bags of flour will be left.
