Question

There are 1,186 souvenir paperweights that need to be packed in boxes. Each box will hold 12 paperweights. How many boxes will be needed?

Answer 1

The answer is 99 if that helps in any way

Answer 2

99 boxes will be needed

Explanation:

I did 100x12=1,200, Next, I went down by one from 100 and it was 1,188. I went down by one again and the answer was 1,176. You would need one more because you can't leave any extra paperweights. The answer was 99 boxes.
