Renee is in charge of the school carnival for 400 students. She has 50 boxes of prices each box has 20 prizes. She wants to make sure she has enough prices for each student to win two prizes.

The question doesn't seem complete, but let's work with what we have. I'm assuming the question is whether or not renee has enough prizes.

400 students x 2 prizes each = 800 prizes needed.

She has 50 boxes x 20 prizes per box = 1000 prizes in total.

So yes, she has enough prizes to give each of the 400 students 2 prizes each. She will have 200 leftover prizes.
