Question

Fish food comes in boxes with 9 containers of food in each box. Habib sells 2 boxes of food. He wants to arrange the remaining food containers into equal groups. How many containers of fish food are left? show how you solved the problem

Answer 1

36 containers of fish food are left

Explanation:

Habib sells 18 containers of fish food. because each box contains 9 containers of fish food. So the number of containers of fish food at Habib's Pet Shop is 54. So 54 - ( 2 × 9 ) = C

54 - 18 = C.

54 - 18 = 36 so C = 36

Answer 2

There are 7 containers left. There is already 9 containers, just subtract 2 and it equals 7.
