Question

Sally worked in a farm where she packed apples in cartons.
She packed 25 cartons of apples.
15 cartons had 8 apples each.
The remaining cartons had 10 apples each.
How many apples did she pack in total?

• A. 100
• B. 120
• C. 220
• D. 200

Answer 1

The correct option is C 220

Total number of cartons = 25
Number of cartons with 8 apples each = 15
Total number of apples in 15 cartons = $15\times 8$

Number of cartons with 10 apples = 25 − 15 = 10
Total number of apples in 10 cartons = $10\times 10$ = 100

Total number of apples packed by Sally = 120 + 100 = 220
