Question

MiniMouse received an order of bows for her store. The order had 3 boxes containing bows and 2 bows that were not in a box. Each box contained an equal number of bows. The order had 146 bows. What is n, the number of bows which should be in each box? Write and solve the equation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If Mini has a total of 146 bows, then you should subtract 2 because those are not in the boxes.

146 - 2 = 144 144 ÷ 3 = 48. This means that there are 48 bows in each box.
