The answer is 9
If u do 225x30=6,750 to Represent how many pairs of chopsticks they use in a month
And then do 6,750/760=9 To represent How many pairs in total divided by how many pairs of chopsticks in each box you will get nine

They would need to order 9 boxes, because if they need 225 each day, for 30 days, you would do 225x30 to give you 6750. Then each box has 750 so you would divide 6750/750. That gives you 9
