Question

Victor had dozen boxes with n number of water bottles in each box.After removing dozen bottles, there were 84 bottles.Find the number of bottles in each box.

Answer 1

There are 8 bottles in each box.

Explanation:

Victor has 12 boxes with 'n' number of water bottles in each box.

A dozen is same as 12.

Now, 12 boxes and each with 'n' number of bottles. Total number of bottles in '12' boxes is 12n bottles.

Now, it is removing 12(a dozen) bottles from 12n bottles which gives 84.

So, 12n -12=84

Add both sides 12

12n= 96

Divide both sides by 12

n=8

So, there are 8 bottles in each box.
