Question

Butter kruse made 522 glaze donuts and 323 chocolate covered donuts. They put the donuts in boxes. Each box holds 12 donuts. How many boxes do they need?

Answer 1

71 boxes

Explanation:

1. Add 522 (# of glaze donuts) and 323(# of chocolate covered donuts).....845(# of total donuts)

2. Divide 845 by 12(the # of donuts each box could hold)....70.41666(repeating)

3. As you can't have a 0.41666 of a box, you round up 70.4166666 to 71.

71*12=852 70*12=840

Even though 71 boxes is more than enough to hold 845 donuts, there is simply no other choice, as there is no smaller box that holds less than 12 donuts.
