Answer:

18 bags

Explanation:

This question is looking for the remainder.

You can divide 5093 by 29 to get 175.62...

This means that 175 instances of 29 fit into 5093 plus some number.

You can then multiply 29 by 175 to get the greatest number of bags per box, yielding 5,075.

There are still some bags remaining as shown by the decimal, so you would subtracting 5093 by 5075 to find the difference of 18.

175 bags will be distributed per box for 29 boxes, with 18 remaining.
