Answer: There are 10 buttons in each box.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes a store sold in last month = 15,000

Number of boxes a store sold in this month = 12,000

Total number of boxes would be

15,000+12,000=27,000

Number of buttons a store sold = 270,000

So, Number of buttons were in each box would be

$(270,000)/(27000)\\\\=10$

Hence, there are 10 buttons in each box.
