Question

As a small step to save the environment, Luna came up with an idea for her sweet shop. In exchange for five eclaire boxes, that she gets, she decided to give an eclaire box for free. A group of kids from the locality ate seventy-seven eclaire boxes that week and they collected the boxes to give to Luna and get back eclaires boxes.

How many eclaires boxes do you think they can buy from Luna using the seventy-seven claire boxes?​

Answer 1

Answer: 15

Explanation:

Since we are informed that in exchange for 5 eclaire boxes, that Luna gets, she decided to give 1 eclaire box for free.

Then, the number of eclaires boxes that they can buy from Luna using 77 claire boxes will be:

= 77 / 5

= 15 2/5

= 15 approximately

They'll get 15 boxes of eclaires from Luna.
