Question

A shopkeeper has 357 fruits. He puts 7 fruits each box. How many boxes does he need?

• A. 63
• B. 41
• C. 51
• D. 53

Answer 1

The correct option is C 51

Number of fruits = 357
Number of fruits per box = 7
Number of boxes needed = 357 $÷$ 7

$\begin{array}{c}51\\ 7357\\ -\underset{–}{35}2\\ 07\\ -\underset{–}{7}2\\ \underset{–}{0}\end{array}$

$\therefore$ A shopkeeper needs 51 boxes.
