Answer : The number of packages of fruit chews Ben start are, 2298 packages.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that there are 27 packages of fruits and there are 84 cases. In each case, there are 27 packages of fruits. So,

Total number of packages of fruit =
`27* 84`

Total number of packages of fruit = 2295

And, 3 packages are left. So, the total number of packages of fruit will be,

Total number of packages of fruit = 2295 + 3

Total number of packages of fruit = 2298

Thus, the number of packages of fruit chews Ben start are, 2298 packages.
