60 boxes were delivered. If there are 1,900 bottles and each box can hold 32 perfume bottles. Simply divide the amount of perfume bottles by the number of amount that each box can hold.
ie. 1,900/32 = 59.375
So there needs to be 60 boxes since the decimal indicates that you will need more than 59 boxes.
