Question 17
A fruit seller packs oranges into bags. If he puts 5 oranges in each bag, 14 oranges remain. The source then says: “If he packs 7 oranges into each bag, he will need another 2 bags.” How many oranges does he have?
Source correction for self-study: replace “need another 2 bags” by “have 2 bags left unused”, with all used bags full. Answer the corrected version; the literal printed wording is inconsistent with the options.
