for each table in her classroom. Each box
contains some pencils and 11 pens. The
teacher uses a total of 182 pencils and pens.
Determine the number of pencils that are in
each box. ​

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

182 pencils devided by 7 identical boxes

182÷7

=26 pencils are in each box

Answer 2

15 pencils in each box

Explanation:

If each box has 11 pens,then there are 77 pens

In total 182 pencils and pens

182-77 = 105 (105 pencils)

105/7 = 15

15x7 = 105

11x7 = 77

105 +77 = 182
