Question

A store manager ordered 28 crates of mangoes. There were 36 mangoes in each crate. When the mangoes were delivered, he sold the ripe mangoes and repacked the rest equally into 73 boxes. There were 12 mangoes in each box. How many ripe mangoes were sold?

Answer 1

132 mangoes were sold

Explanation:

Total mangoes = Total number of crates * number of mangoes in each crates

= 28 * 36

= 1008 mangoes

Number of mangoes repacked = Number of boxes * number of mangoes in each box

= 73 * 12

= 876 repacked mangoes

Ripe mangoes that were sold = 1008 - 876

= 132
