Question

If $640+360$ apples were kept in 50 boxes. How many apples were there in each box if all boxes had equal number of apples?

• A. 20
• B. 10
• C. 25
• D. 50

Answer 1

The correct option is A

20

$640+360$ apples make 1000 apples

$640\underset{–}{+360}\underset{–}{1000}$

1000 apples equally divided into 50 boxes

= $1000÷50=\frac{100\text{/}0}{5\text{/}0}$

$=\frac{100}{5}=20$ apples in each box.

Alternate Method

$1000÷50=20$ apples in each box
