Answer 1

4

Explanation:

90/30 = 3 boxes

94-90 = 4 extra boxes

Answer 2

There are 4 extra toys.

Explanation:

Hey there!

We're given the following information:

• There are 94 total toys.
• There are 3 boxes.
• Each box will hold 30 toys.

Therefore, we can realize that this will be a division problem since something is being put into another item:

• Lone toys → toys in boxes

We have 3 boxes that will fit 30 toys each, so let's find out how many toys are accounted for with these boxes.

• 
  `30 * 3 = 90 \ \text{toys}`

Now, we can just subtract the total number of toys from the accounted amount of toys.

• 
  `\text{94 total toys - 90 accounted toys = 4 remaining toys}`

Therefore, we know that remaining is a synonym of extra, so there are a total of four toys that are left over.
