A small brick of text. If you don't wanna read just look at the bottom of the post there is the question.
Well there is this "new" thing my beloved country of Croatia came up with for students who finished high school and want to go to college called "State matura" which is basically a series of tests on various subjects such as math,english,physics,etc... and the three main subjects involve 1.Croatian(our language),2.Mathematics,3.Foreign language for which the students can choose either the standard or advanced test depending on what the college requires. Anyway i took all the tests and among them advanced math believing that i would pass... but well... i didn't .... i failed by 1% under the required score to pass. So i had to wait 2 months to register for the 2nd try and now i took the standard level, but in the meantime instead of studying i've been screwing around and now i'm back to being a dummy. So instead of going to a math dedicated forum where i'd get laughed at i've decided to get laughed at here. I need some help with .... well standard math... funny ain't it?
Well i found the earlier copy of the 2010 standard level test and i only managed to solve around 70% ... so i'm askin you for help.
First this one.
The first question
A milk product comes in packages of 330g or 500g(g being grams). The merchant received the amount of 55 550g of that milk product in total of 140 packages. How many smaller packages did he get?
Now this seems really easy to me but i've never been good with these types where you have to figure the formula yourself(ya i know i'm THAT dumb) but i just can't seem to solve it.
