Answer: the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is 7

Explanation:

Let x represent the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry.

If comic books are bundled together in groups of 8, then the total number of comic books in x bundles of comic books would be 8x.

A box can hold a maximum of 60 comic books. Therefore, the inequality to find the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is

8x ≤ 60

x ≤ 60/8

x ≤ 7.5
