Question

Patrick had 93 cameras and he purchased 86 more, Patrick wants toship all of his cameras across the country using boxes that hold 65cameras each. How many full boxes can he ship?

Answer 1

Given that Patrick had 93 cameras and purchased 86 more, the total number of cameras he has is

= 93 + 86

= 179 cameras

Given that one box can only hold 65 cameras, the total number of boxes required can be derived as

= 179/65

= 2 49/65

Hence he would require 3 boxes. The first will hold 65, the next will hold another 65 and the third will hold the remaining 49 cameras. Thus he can ship 2 full boxes while the 3rd will only hold 49 camera
