Question

Susanna bought 15 boxes of frozen treats. Boxes of popsicles contain 6

popsicles and boxes of ice cream bars contain 4 bars. If there are a total of 66
frozen treats, how many boxes of each type did she buy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

66/15 is 4.4 since that is less than 5 you know there are more boxes of ice cream bars after that you just have to guess

9*4=36

6*6=36

36+36=72, since that is too high there, needs to be more fours

12*4=48

3*6=18

48+18=66

so there are 12 ice cream bars and 3 popcicles
