Answer:

99

Explanation:

To figure out how many pens are packaged in each box, we can divide the total amount of pens (t) by the number of boxes (b) to get the amount in each box (e)

t ÷ b = e

Now all we need to do is input the numbers from the problem.

48 ÷ 4 = 11

There are 11 pens in each box.

Using this, we can determine how many pens are in 9 boxes using this equation:
11 × 9 = 99

There are 99 pens in 9 boxes.
