Number of books in a box = 100 block

Total number of Blocks =2,340 block

Minimum number of Box required


=(2340)/(100)\\\\=23.40

As, Number of Boxes can't be in Decimals.It must be a Positive Integer.

So, 23<23.40<24

So, Minimum Number of Boxes , if there are 2,340 block, if in each Box there are 100 Block=24 Boxes
