This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Rob has 96 football cards. Rob filled 3 fewer plastic boxes with football cards than basketball cards. He filled 9 boxes with basketball cards. How many boxes did he fill with football cards? How many football cards were in each box?

Answer :

Number of boxes filled with basketball cards are, 6

Number of football cards in each box were, 16

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Total number of football cards = 96

Number of boxes filled with basketball cards = 9

Now we have to calculate the number of boxes filled with basketball cards.

As we are given that Rob filled 3 fewer plastic boxes with football cards than basketball cards.

So,

Number of boxes filled with basketball cards = 9 - 3 = 6

Now we have to calculate the number football cards were in each box.

Number of football cards were in each box =
`(96)/(6)`

Number of football cards were in each box = 16
