Question

Izzy and her 3 siblings pick oranges from the trees in their backyard. The siblings agree to: ● each pick 28 oranges or more ● each save 10 oranges for themselves The siblings divide the remaining oranges they picked evenly among 10 neighbors. They have no oranges left over. What is the smallest total number of oranges Izzy and her siblings could have picked?

Answer 1

They should have picked 90 oranges

Answer 2

The smallest total number of oranges Izzy and her siblings could have picked is 120.

What is the arithmetic operator?

Arithmetic operators are four basic mathematical operations in which summation, subtraction, division, and multiplication involve.,

Summation = addition of two or more numbers or variable

For example = 2 + 8 + 9

Subtraction = Minus of any two or more numbers with each other called subtraction.

For example = 4 - 8

Division = divide any two numbers or variable called division.

For example 4/8

Multiplication = to multiply any two or more numbers or variables called multiplication.

For example 5 × 7.

Given that,

Izzy and her 3 siblings ( 4 members) pick 28 and more each.

If we consider 28 then they will remain with 18 each after saving for themselves.

Now 18 × 4 = 72 which is not possible to divide into 10 for neighbors.

So,

They need to take at least 30 oranges so 20 × 4 = 80 oranges can be divided into 10 neighbors as 8 each.

Hence "The smallest total number of oranges Izzy and her siblings could have picked is 120".
