Please I need help with this question.

In the store Sara is shopping at, 1 cardboard box with glitter is $10 per box. The other type of cardboard box is $6 per box that has no design. If Sara spent $130, how much of boxes did she get (what type)? What quantity?

Answer: 13 glitter cardboard boxes that are $10

Explanation:

We have to divide the number $130 by both numbers each cardboard box costs, designed glitter boxes that are $10 and plain cardboard boxes are 6 each. So, let's do that right now.

130 ÷ 6 = 23.333

Sara only bought 13 cardboard boxes, so it is no the answer.

Now, let's try the second number that is $10. We have to remember that the answer has to be 13. So, let's do that as well right now.

130 ÷ 10 = 13

We see that we get 13 while we divide 130 by 10, so Sara bought 13 designed glitter cardboard boxes.

The answer to the question is 13 glitter cardboard boxes that are $10.

Hope this helps you!
