Question

A company is packing cartons of candles. Each carton can hold 72 candles. So far, 48 cartons have been packed, but only 30 cartons have been loaded on a truck

Answer 1

Answer: 1,296 candles

Explanation:

48 cartons have been packed yet only 30 have been loaded. The cartons still left are;

= 48 - 30

= 18 cartons

Each carton holds 72 candles so the candles that have not yet been loaded are:

= 18 * 72

= 1,296 candles
