Max is buying bags of oranges each bag has 8 oranges when he opens the bag he finds that 12 of the total oranges are rotten what are the options for the number of bags he should buy in order to end up at least 40 good oranges

Answer: 7 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of oranges rotten - 12

To buy no. of bags to get - at least 40 good oranges

No. of oranges in a bag - 8

40 + 12 = 52 oranges

As each bag contains 8 oranges and 52 is not divisible by 8 we end up taking the closest divisible number that is 54.

If we divide 54 by 8 we get 7.

Hence Max needs to buy 7 bags of oranges.

Note: As they have asked at least 40 good oranges
