Fiona bought x boxes of oranges. There were 10 oranges in each box. When the boxes were opened, she found that p oranges were spoilt. She decided to distribute the good oranges into 20 container. Write an expression, in terms of x and p, for the number of oranges in each container.

Answer 1

The total number of oranges Fiona bought is x * 10 = 10x.
The total number of good oranges is 10x - p.
Therefore, the number of oranges in each container is (10x - p)/20.
