Question

Davion sells boxes of chocolate truffles. Small boxes contain 12 truffles each. Large boxes contain 24 truffles each. Last week, Davion sold 32 small boxes and a total of 1,032 truffles. How many large boxes of truffles did Davion sell last week?

Answer 1

Answer: Let's start by finding how many truffles Davion sold in small boxes:

Number of truffles in small boxes = 12 truffles/box * 32 boxes = 384 truffles

To find how many truffles Davion sold in large boxes, we can subtract the number of truffles in small boxes from the total number of truffles sold:

Number of truffles in large boxes = Total number of truffles - Number of truffles in small boxes

= 1032 truffles - 384 truffles

= 648 truffles

Since each large box contains 24 truffles, we can find the number of large boxes Davion sold by dividing the total number of truffles in large boxes by the number of truffles per large box:

Number of large boxes = Number of truffles in large boxes / Number of truffles per large box

= 648 truffles / 24 truffles/box

= 27 boxes

Therefore, Davion sold 27 large boxes of truffles last week.
