Answer:

They need about 75 boxes so that they can hold all the flash drives.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

An electronics store places an order for 2,665 USB flash drives.

One shipping box holds 36 flash drives.

Now we need to find how many boxes will it take to hold all the flash drives.

for this divide the number of USB flash drives with the capacity of shipping box as shown:

(2665)/(36)=74.0278

They need about 75 boxes so that they can hold all the flash drives.
