George has 1,702 oranges in his storeroom. He has to pack them in 152 crates. If he packs an equal number of oranges in each crate, how many oranges should he pack in each crate, and how many will remain?

To do this problem you must first divide the total number of oranges by the number of crates.
This would leave you with 1,702/152.
This gives you the number of oranges in each crate, which is 11 oranges per crate.

If you have 11 oranges each in 152 crates, you multiply 11*152 to fine the total oranges that are inside crates.
This total value is 1672.
To find the number of remaining oranges, subtract the number of oranges in crates from the total number of oranges.
1702-1672=30
So there are 30 oranges remaining.
