Question

Mr. Anand is carrying 326 books in the back of his car. If the books are in boxes of 25 each, how many boxes are there?
How many books are left over ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

each box have 25 books

326/25= 13.4 =14

Answer 2

Given,

Number of books carried by Mr.Anand at back of his car = 326books.

Each box contains 25books.

=> Let, the number of boxes be x.

If each box contains 25books then it takes 4boxes to contain 100 books.

1 box ------ 25books

4boxes ----- (25×4)books.

=> 4boxes ----- 100books.

=> 326 can be split as (100 + 100 + 100 + 26)

=> Now for 300 books let the no. of boxes be x.

=> 100 books ----- 4boxes

=> 300 books ------ (4×3)boxes = 12boxes.

Now, no. of books left over are 26.

But , we know that 25books can be fitted in one box.

now, total boxes = (12+ 1) = 13

There fore , total no. of boxes required to keep 325 books is 13boxes.

Now, no. of left over book is one.
