Question

Workers have packed 1,400 glasses in 7 boxes. If they pack 3 more boxes, how many glasses will they have packed in all?

Answer 1

1box = 1400/7 = 200

200×3=600

1400+600=2000

Answer 2

2000

Explanation:

Given :Workers have packed 1,400 glasses in 7 boxes.

To Find :If they pack 3 more boxes, how many glasses will they have packed in all?

Solution:

Workers packed no. of glasses in 7 boxes = 1400

Workers packed no. of glasses in 1 box =
`(1400)/(7)`

Workers packed no. of glasses in 3 boxes =
`(1400)/(7) * 3`

=
`600`

So, initially they packed 1400 glasses

If they pack 3 more boxes so, the pack 600 glasses more

So, The total no. of glasses have packed by workers = 1400+600 = 2000

Hence they have packed 2000 glasses in all.
