Question

Nicole buys 18 boxes for envelopes for her office that came in boxes of 125 envelopes. If she uses 350 envelopes how many envelopes will she have left? Show your work. Explain

Answer 1

1,900

Explanation:

Since there are 125 envelopes in each box, multiply the number of boxes by the number of envelopes:

18*125 = 2,250

Since she uses 350 of the envelopes, subtract it from the original number of envelopes:

2,250 - 350 = 1,900

So, Nicole has 1,900 envelopes left :)
