Nathan bought one large box of bananas. He saw that there are six bunches with eight bananas in a bunch and five bunches with seven bananas in a bunch. How many bananas did Nathan have? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
There were 6 x 8 = 48 bananas from the bunches with 8 bananas in a bunch. There were 5 x 7 = 35 bananas from the bunches with 7 bananas in a bunch. Therefore, Nathan had 48 + 35 = 83 bananas. So, the answer is 83.
