Question

Tony has a metal stand that holds 700 heavy boxes. He can put 70 boxes on each shelf. If ​70% of the metal stand is​ empty, how many shelves are filled with​ boxes? i need help plssss

Answer 1

I believe it is 3 shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

- each stand holds 700 and the stand is 70% empty

- the number of boxes that are in the stand is:

(1 - 0.7) × 700 = 210

- each shelf holds 70 boxes and the stand has 210 boxes

210/70

= 3

3 shelves filled with boxes

- good luck
