Question

A box can store 100 apples, a basket can store 10 apples, and a pouch can store 3 apples.
Jax and Jane have the following boxes, baskets, and pouches.
Jax: 4 boxes, 6 baskets, 3 pouches
Jane: 4 boxes, 3 baskets, 2 pouches
How many apples can they both store in total?

• A. 902
• B. 916
• C. 898
• D. 905

Answer 1

The correct option is D 905

Number of apples a box can store = 100
Number of apples a basket can store = 10
Number of apples a pouch can store = 3
Number of apples Jax can store:
4 boxes = 4 Hundreds = 400 apples
6 baskets = 6 Tens = 60 apples
3 pouches $=3+3+3=9$ apples
$=400+60+9=469$

Number of apples Jane can store:
4 boxes = 4 Hundreds = 400 apples
3 baskets = 3 Tens = 30 apples
2 pouches $=3+3=6$ apples
$=400+30+6$
$=436$
$469+436=?$

Using the HTO table for decomposition:



$=800+90+15$
$=800+90+10+5$
$=800+100+5$
$=900+5=905$

So, they both can store 905 apples in total.
