Question

A shopkeeper has 204 eggs. He puts them in egg trays. If each tray can hold 12 eggs, find the number of egg trays needed.

Answer 1

Total number of eggs with the shopkeeper = 204
Number of eggs in a tray = 12
=> Number of egg trays needed = 204 $÷$ 12

$$\begin{array}{c}17\\ 12204\\ -\underset{–}{12}2\\ 84\\ -\underset{–}{84}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, the shopkeeper requires 17 egg trays.
