15 * 12 = 180
14(410 - 180) = ?
That wont work becuase there is only 410 tangerines.
Packaging Tangerines
The produce manager at the grocery store had 410 tangerines. He put some of them into 15 cartons containing 12 tangerines each. He then put the rest into 14 cartons, each containing the same number of tangerines.
How many tangerines were in each of the 14 cartons? Explain how you got the answer.
b. How many tangerines were left?
There are two qustions.

Sorry -- but I made a major mistake. The second equation should be:
(410 - 180) / 14 = ?
(410 - 180) / 14 = ?
230 / 14 does not come out even
It doesn't come out even, but you can round to get your answer. So, 16.428571428571428571428571428571 would round to 16.
I hope this helps! :)

It doesn't, does it?
The remainder of this problem is the number of tangerines that were left.
