How many boxes does Katherine have in total? (Attachment reference)

Answer 1

2023 big boxes means there are 2023 x 2 = 4046 medium boxes.

4046 medium boxes means there are 4046 x 3 = 12138 small boxes.

2023 + 4046 + 12138 = 18207

Answer 2

18207 boxes

Explanation:

Ok, something I always do when approaching multi-step problems is write down the information I have, and lay out my plan to solve this problem.

The information I have right now:

- 2023 large boxes

- each large box has 2 medium boxes

- each medium box has 3 small boxes

The plan:

Multiply it by 2 to determine the amount of medium boxes

Multiply the number of medium boxes by 3 to get the number of Small boxes.

Add all the boxes up.

The plan in action:

`2023 * 2 = 4046`

`4046 * 3 = 12138`

Therfore, we have:

2023 large boxes

4046 medium boxes

12138 small boxes

The question asks how many boxes she has in total, so we need to add them all up:

`2023+4046+12138 = 18207 boxes`

I hope this helped!
