1. It is already given in the question that one box of tissues cost $6.58. Need to find the number of boxes that can be bought with $46.06.
So
$6.58 is required to buy = 1 box
Then
With $46.06 one can buy = (46.06/6.58) boxes
= 7
So with $46.06 a person can buy 7 boxes of tissue paper.
2. In this question it is given that Castle had spent $4.83 for buying a box of envelope. It is required to find the number of boxes of envelope Castle can buy with $38.64
Now
$4.83 is required to buy = 1 box of envelope
then with $38.64 Castle can buy = (38.64/4.83) boxes of envelope
= 8
So Castle can buy 8 boxes of envelope with $38.64
