Question: There were 25 peaches in each basket. Five baskets of peaches were delivered to a market. The farmers have eaten 5 peaches. The remaining peaches are packed into smaller boxes of 15 each. How many boxes of peaches are there? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The total number of peaches delivered to a market was 5 x 25 = 125. The remaining peaches after 5 were eaten was 150 - 5 = 145. So, there are 120 / 15 = 8 smaller boxes of peaches. So the answer is 8.
