Answer 2

Option B. 1,200.

Explanation:

Regina is in charge of purchasing notepads to give away at an upcoming trade show.

she knows that 65 boxes of notepads will contain a total of 1,625 pads.

We calculate this by unitary method. first we calculate the amount of pads in one box.

∵ 65 boxes contains = 1,625 pads

∴ in one box = 1,625 ÷ 65 = 25 pads

She purchases 48 boxes, so she will receive = 25 × 48 = 1,200 pads

She would receive 1200 pads if she purchases 48 boxes.
