Question

At the start of the school year, there were 72 boxes of coloring pencils in the art room, with each box containing 12 packs. During the school term , 58 boxes were used. How many packs of coloring pencils were left?

Answer 1

Take away the 58 boxes from the 72 boxes and you will have 14 boxes left.

Then you have to multiply the 14 boxes left, by the 12 packs of pencils what gives you 168 packs of colouring pencils left.
