Question

Chang needs 245 programs for the school play on Thursday. How many boxes of programs will he need, given that each box contains 37 programs?

Answer 1

7 boxes

Let’s set up an equation to solve for x, the amount of boxes Chang needs

37x = 245

Divide both sides by 37

x = 6.62162

We can round to x = 7 boxes so that Chang will have enough programs. (Because if we say he needs 6 boxes, Chang will only have 222 programs)
