Question

4. A fruit vendor packed 100 apples each in 64 baskets. Later, he found some apples were left unpacked. So he packed 30 more apples in each basket. Use distributive property of multiplication over addition to find how many apples did pack in total?​

Answer 1

Here is the answer

Explanation:

Apples in 1 baskets=100

Apples in 64 baskets=100*64-6400

apples (before adding 30 apples in each

basket).... ..(1)

Some apples left unpacked

So he added 30 apples to each

Total apples added by him- 30*64(in each basket*no of baskets)

= 1920 apples

.(2)

So total no apples eq(1)+eq(2)

= 6400 apples + 1920 apples

=8320 apples packed in total

Therefore the total no. of apples packed were 8320 apples.

Hope this helps

Thanks
