Answer:

24 fossil kits.

Explanation:

Given,

The number of fossil kits = 30,

the number of samples each has = 8,

So, the total samples = number of fossil kits × the number of samples contained by each kit

= 30 × 8

= 240,

Let x be the number fossil kits with 10 samples each,

Total samples = 10x

According to the question,

10x = 240


\implies x =(240)/(10)=24

Hence, there would be 24 fossil kits with 10 samples each.
