Answer 1

I believe the correct answer would be 16.

Explanation:

There are 2 cases of golf balls that hold 12 boxes of 12 balls.

12(12) + 12(12) = 288

You need to find how many cases Joan can buy to equal the amount of 288 balls.

18(x) = 288

I simply divided 288 by 18 to get the answer of 16.

x = 16
