Question

Norma makes bags.

She makes 17 bags an hour.
Norma works for 6 hours each day, 5 days a week.
Each bag is checked.
If the bag is perfect, it is put in a box.
When there are 12 bags in a box it is full.
One week 90% of the bags Norma made were perfect.
Work out the number of boxes completely filled with bags made by Norma.

Answer 1

38

Explanation:

She makes 17 bags an hour. Multiply 17 bags by each hour. Additionally, multiply that by 5 for each day worked. The total number is 510.

Out of 510 bags made in that week, only 90% are perfect. 90% of 510 is 459.

If there are 459 bags, and each box can hold 12, how many boxes will be full? Keep adding bags into boxes until you reach 0 bags. The equation you'll want is 459/12.

38 boxes will be full, with 3 remainder bags.
