Answer:

The box holds 90 packets.

Explanation:

Subtracting the 1.5 kg box weight from the weight of the full box of packets yields 31.5 kg, which is the measure of the packets already in the box.

Dividing this 31.5 kg by (0.350 kg / packet) yields 90.

The box holds 90 packets.

Answer:

90 packets

Explanation:

Subtract the weight of the box.

33-1.5=31.5

There are 31.5kg of packets.

Convert it to g.

31500g

Divide it by the weight of one packet.

31500/350=90

The box holds 90 packets.
