Starting with the equation:


c=(nz)/(f)

Since the number of boxes is z, solve for z. To do so, multiply both sides of the equation by f:


\begin{gathered} cf=(nz)/(f)\cdot f \\ \Rightarrow cf=nz \end{gathered}

Next, divide both sides of the equation by n:


\begin{gathered} (cf)/(n)=(nz)/(n) \\ \Rightarrow(cf)/(n)=z \end{gathered}

Therefore:


z=(cf)/(n)
