16 boxes. you have to add 55 vanilla cupcakes and 39 strawberry cupcakes to get the total amount of cupcakes which is

55 + 39 = 94
then you must divide by how many cupcakes a box can hold

94 / 6 = 15.6666666666666666
but you cant have a fraction of a box so round up to 16

55+39=94 cupcakes in total
94/6=15 2/3
The smallest number of boxes is 16.
