Question

A bookstore orders 200 books. The books are packaged in boxes that hold 24 books each. All the boxes the bookstore receives are full, except one. How many boxes does the bookstore recieve??

Answer 1

First we will divide to se how many boxes there will be.

200 ÷ 24 = 8.333......

So there would be 9 boxes cause there is 1 box that is not FULL.

Next we will multiply.

24 × 8 = 192

Subtract:-

200 - 192 = 8

So there are 9 boxes. The 9th box has 8 books.
