Question

Ramon’s is buying boxes of party favors for his sons birthday party. He has to decide how many boxes he should purchase. 28 children will attend the party. If each child gets 2 party favors and there are 14 favors in each box, how many boxes should Raymond buy?

Answer 1

Hi!

Every kid should get 2 party favors.

28 x 2 = 56

Raymond needs at least 56 party favors. There are 14 favors in each box. Divide.

56/14 = 4

The answer is 4 boxes.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

To ensure that each of the 28 children receive 2 favors, a total of 2(28), or 56, favors are needed. Four boxes of 14 favors each will yield those 56 favors.
