Question

David bought 9896 chocolates for his shop. He divided them equally into 139 packets. How many chocolates will remain unpacked?

• A. 27
• B. 71
• C. 81

Answer 1

The correct option is A 27

Total number of chocolates = $9896$
There are 139 packets.
Number of packed chocolates
$=\frac{\text{Total number of chocolates}}{\text{Total number of packets}}=\frac{9896}{139}$

To find the number of unpacked chocolates,we have to find the remainder of 9896 $÷$ 139.

Let's solve 9896 $÷$ 139 using long division method
The quotient = 71 and the remainder =27
Hence, 27 chocolates will be remain unpacked
