Question

Woody has to pack $600$ clothes in bags. A bag can contain $10$ clothes. He has $20$ bags. How many more bags does he need to pack all the clothes in bags?

• A. $20$
• B. $50$
• C. $40$
• D. $30$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $40$

Number of bags Woody has $=20$
Number of clothes each bag can contain $=10$
So, the number of clothes 20 bags can contain $=20$ times $10=200$ clothes
Number of clothes Woody has $=600$
Number of clothes left to be packed $=600–200=400$ clothes
We know that $10$ tens $=1$ Hundred
Bags needed for $400$ clothes:
$1$ hundred $=10$ tens
$4$ hundred $=40$ tens
So, Woody needs $40$ more bags to pack all the clothes in bags.
Hence, option C is the answer.
