⓵ If they delivered all 776 ounces that they needed to deliver :
45 boxes + 52 boxes = 776 ounces
97 boxes = 776 ounces
Which means that 97 boxes weight 776 ounces!
⓶ You have to do a cross product in order to find out the weight of a single box :
97 boxes → 776 ounces
1 box → × ounces
(776 x 1) ÷ 97 = ×
↓
(776) ÷ 97 = ×
↓
776 ÷ 97 = 8
Which means that × = 8 (× being the weight of a single box)!
So to answer your problem : "Write and solve an equation to find the weight of each cookie box”
↠ My equation was : × = (776 x 1) ÷ 97
↠ The weight of each cookie box :
8 ounces
I really hope this helped, if there’s anything let me know! ☻
