Answer: 7 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of oranges rotten - 12

To buy no. of bags to get - at least 40 good oranges

No. of oranges in a bag - 8

40 + 12 = 52 oranges

As each bag contains 8 oranges and 52 is not divisible by 8 we end up taking the closest divisible number that is 54.

If we divide 54 by 8 we get 7.

Hence Max needs to buy 7 bags of oranges.

Note: As they have asked at least 40 good oranges
