Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.
I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.
we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.
therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.
we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.
so,
475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges
he packs them into 296 boxes.
that makes
540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.
these are many oranges for one box in real life.
and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.
if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have
540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185
oranges left over.
in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.
